I'm considering the purchase of a M998. The price is affordable, it runs and drives, and it has an on-road title. The main problem I have with it is that it has a lift kit and pimpy rims with 40" tires.
Does anyone have any advice about installing and/or removing lift kits from HMMWVs? I have no experience with lift kits. Is this something that I can do in my driveway, or does it need a shop visit?
I've also read that lift kits and bigger wheels can put more stress on components that weren't designed to handle them, yet it seems that HMMWVs might be a little less vulnerable to this kind of modification compared to a civilian truck. Am I better off skipping this vehicle and try to find something more stock? Maybe I can buy it and make a profit reselling it![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
