If you upgrade your brake system you would be fine.....
Easier said then done, I am looking into it for our 5-ton. Going double is a pain, and going air-brake is expensive and difficult also. Also changes the truck rather strongly, but if earning a buck with it is your only goal, why not.

I'm in Alaska right now but I work all over. I knew I'd have to upgrade the air breaks ..........
I am not sure from this sentence if you plan to upgrade from the existing system to air brakes or improve the existing air brakes. If the first, that is a lot of work. If the second, the M800 series do not have air brakes, they have air-assisted hydraulics.

Especially when counting the time needed to re-do the M800 to your specs, even with a lot of spare parts available, it will be not cheap. If you already have one, ok. If you are considering buying one to upgrade, as said by many, safe yourself a lot of hassle to get a very noisy limited imitation of an M900 and get the real thing somewhere.
