How did you lift the rear of the truck? Did you install the tapered shims to correct the pinion angle? I did a shacle flip on my M1028 and it rotated the pinion up and I can't attach the right rear shock as well. I got new spring perchs and I'm going to rotated the pinion down so I should be...

Awesome thanks. Do you think I could back the 105 up to a loading ramp, set the parking brake, then back the 101 into the 105 from a loading ramp?

Did this work for you? I just won an auction for a M105 and a M101 and need to do the same thing.

I got my 5-1/2" Superlift installed a couple of weeks ago. I ditched the lift blocks and installed a 4" shackle flip and 6" shackles in back for 5-1/2" of lift in back. The truck sits level and looks good. The 39" Michelin XML tires did not clear with just the lift. I would rub while turning and...

I in the middle of installing the lift on my M1028. I got called to work so I only got the front installed so far. I'm going with the ORD shackle flip in the rear and did find that it would affect the load capacity of a M1028. The M1028 has an overload spring which contacts brackets connected...

I've seen a couple of builds doing the same thing. I was thinking about doing this, but now am going to cut down the frame of a crewcab that I have to make it SWB. To use your LWB frame, you will have to notch the floorpan in the crewcab to fit the different frame profile. I think you also...

Re: RE: 325/85R16 XML wheel size? Well, I'm finally getting around to working on this again. I had a tire shop mount up a tire on a 16" x 8" wheel. It looks like the tire is crowning more than I'd like (with 25 psi), so I jacked it up in stock form to put some weight on it. I can't even fit...

Wider isn't necessarily bad either, just watch the backspacing. Stock backspacing is somewhere around 4", any more than that and you'll have to look for interference. I don't know what the "magic" number is for max backspacing before a wheel interfers. Many older Dodge, Ford, and Chevy/GMC...

I was just researching H2 wheels for my M1028 yesterday. Those look like aftermarket wheels, not true H2 wheels. He said that the hub was too small for his Dodge 2500, so I'm pretty sure they'd be too small for your m1008. Not a bad price for billet wheels, it may be worth it if you can get a...

I picked up this M1028 this summer here in Alaska. As you can see in the bed, remnants of the snow camo. The green and white is CARC. You can see on the body of the truck somebody painted over the white with cheap brown and black. I've been driving it with the current paint, but plan on...

Did you ever find out the size of the bushings? I'd like to know also. I have my shackle flip kit, but haven't installed it. I wanted to order the greasable bushings, but ORD said there were two or three different sizes they could possibly be and suggested that I measure mine first. I...

Re: RE: DASH PAD Coverlay Manufacturing is the company that was featured in the 4WheelParts magazine, vacuum molded ABS plastic. I don't see them for sale on 4WheelParts' website, but http://www.coverlaymfg.com/ has them for sale on their website. $122.36 for an 1981 to 1991 dash cover.

I found this for sale close to me (close is a fairly vague concept here in Alaska). I contacted the seller trying to find year and model #, but he did not have much info. He stated the year was unknown and the model was "TROOP CARRIER". Can anyone give me a clue as to the year and model from...

Hey, there's a guy selling some on eBay alot closer to you than I am. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MICHELIN-XML-MUD-TIRES-SERIOUS-4-WHEEL-DRIVE-TIRES_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ66474QQihZ015QQitemZ250187020902QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

I'm not sure what I'll do with them, I still don't know if the bigger tires will work. Shipping is terrible. 4 tires = 490#. I paid $85 to have them shipped 360 miles here in Alaska. Most places in the U.S. are 2,500 to 4,500 miles from me!!!

I thought this also, but spoke to two different tires guys I know (both work with truck tires) and they said the 12.00R20 tires need a budd type wheel and would not hold a bead with conventional light truck tires. The bead seating surface on the big truck tires is much larger. I will search...

Just what I'm looking for, thanks.

Any recommendations where to get custom wheels. I've Googled it, but haven't found anything.

I haven't even mounted up my 325/85R16 XML's yet and I am already thinking of jumping up in size to 12.00R20 XML's. Where can I find a wheel that will fit my 8 on 6.5" bolt pattern? Or will I have to get duece wheels and use an adapter?

I'm planning on building some rock slider / steps for my truck like Pertersen's 4Wheel&Off-road built for Project Army Truck. http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/brandpages/chevy/131_0405_1986_chevy_1_ton_army_truck_3/index.html Offers protection and somewhat of a step.
