So Doghead and I have finally lifted my 1008A1. We got it finished today and took it for a 2 hour test drive! I love it!
We put a 4" Skyjacker Lift Kit for a 1987 1 ton on it. That kit came with everything including the correct hardware for the DANA 60 front end (4" springs) and corporate 14 bolt rear end (3.5" rear lift blocks) . Skyjacker gas shocks, swaybar drop kit, and a 4" drop drag link were also installed. All this was done to install 37" radial HUMVEE tires on stock type rims.
The end goal was to gain some road speed/ lower RPMs so I can drive it to work more frequently(90 miles each day). There was no interference with the on-road driving that I am planning on doing. We are totally happy with the fit and setup! (Now I just need a ladder to get in!)
Here are some "after the ride" pictures!
Doghead says thanks to those who offered information and advice prior to the installations. Thanks and much appreciated!
