A little troubled,That beam on top of the leaf springs is weird and not much compression travel to be had. Are all the M39s like that or only certain models?
I believe this was unique to only the wreckers, all the way up through the M939 series.That beam on top of the leaf springs is weird and not much compression travel to be had. Are all the M39s like that or only certain models?

Unless your planing on putting 30 k of weight on the truck itself i would go about an inch past the u bolts on that rear suspension and cut the additional anti flex/spring stiffener on both sides of the u bolt so the leaf springs can travel and WAY improve your ride comfort !Photo of the day.
To complete the preparation of the rear of the truck, I still have the face of the left side with its four wheels.

20-some years ago when I was a hwy supt I obtained a USGI wheel dolly from Watervliet DRMO for the guys to use... It had a manual jack that used the typical folding crank handle typical for a car or pickup .. The guys did not like it because the height of the wheels could not be adjusted to match the angle of an axle, thus it sat and rusted away in a corner .. They continued to use a payloader for the task.. To their credit, it was very rare that they wrecked a new seal
