I just put a set on my M1028 and they inprove the speed. I added a set of off road design 1 inch "Zero rates" on the front and moved the axle to the front one inch as well. i did some minor fender trimming and have no rubbing issues. on the front axle you will have to add 2 inch spacers. i got mine for $109. i am pleased with the change the 37 inch hmmwv tires and rims made. I got my tires and rims from trail worthy fab. good price and good service as well. Put on a set i think you will like them.

Thanks for the kind words Mark. Do you have any pics? We'd like to add some good pics to the website.

I put them on my M1009 and will soon be putting them on my M1028. I bought some well used ones and they have a little shake to them even after balancing them, but that's around 80MPH.

The M250 shelter is empty, the Army never mounted any system in it. Only 4 armor lights and a couple of brackets to secure test gear. Yep, bias with 2" spacers.

Are you running any kind of lift? I have lots of people that ask about it so I'm trying to educate myself in the full size truck arena.

No, but I do not off road with this one, it is close and the extra rear springs on a 885 help with the clearance. If I was taking it off road it would need a lift and may do it in the future, but right now have too many MV projects going. Plus still trying to sort out the 5,000 lbs of temper tents I picked up last week before it rains!

Dookey, did you run out of the 37s with the paint on them? I notice they aren't listed on the site anymore. Been following your vendor thread over on Pirate for a while and I'm about to the point where I'm going to order 4 or 5 of the 37s for my Ramcharger. I wish I had the cash to get a set of re-centered 12 bolts with them, lol.
