    M880 lift

    the add a leaf spring is about just as long as the main leaf. it is also arched, if you simply added a leaf of the same length as one of the shorter ones you would only gain the thickness of that leaf, basically just a spacer. refer to picture #1 above, before that "add a leaf" the rubber...

    Leaf spring re-arch

    1976/1977 Dodge W200 pickup with 3500 lb front axle (D44) for reference my W400 with a 4500 lb front axle (D60) has 6 or 7 leaves under the main leaf. They are interchangeable between the two. JC Whitney among dozens of other online sources has them, any spring shop can get or make them.

    Brake Fluid DOT 3 and DOT 5

    If it was DOT5 & they added DOT3, it should have blended by now & would look nasty.

    Brake Fluid DOT 3 and DOT 5

    jeez, give the service tech the benefit of doubt. Your truck have those yellow stickers on it that say Use Silicone fluid only? He may have noticed. What was written on the repair bill? Could simply stop in and ask the service guy.

    M880 lift

    Works for me The left front will hit the pitman arm when turned full right. Mine are on 6 7/8 wide stock wheels, the spaced out humvee wheels may make a difference.

    Got me! I said oow - ah, an elusive M888! Then I remembered, it was a M882 with a M888 bed. Still cool.

    Hummer wheel lug bolt pattern, fit M880?

    Your word "well" is an opinion, they do work. I was the 1st one to make it up this hill, got bored waiting for someone else to make it so I took the pic of it sitting there. Another M880 with the 9.50-16.5's was stuck at the bottom. an add a leaf up front helps.

    Advice needed with M886

    Clear in line fuel filter before the fuel pump, carry a spare one. as well as spare; Ignition module, fuses headlight switch ballast resister ( Although I never had one go bad on these trucks) 95% of electrical problems are ground related.

    Carb Upgrade

    More CFM won't help much, the valves & ports are very very small in those heads.
