Although we have never bobbed any of our trucks I thought I would chime in. I guess it all depends on what you want to do with your truck. Are you going to use it to haul heavy loads in the bed? Are you going to install substantially larger tires? Are you going to be pulling heavy trailers or plowing through really deep mud?

One thing to consider with an M809 (Cummins Pwr) series 5 ton for bobbing is that you have a motor that is almost twice the displacement and HP/Torque than the stock multifuel in the M35. The HP increase that the 5 ton has gives you the ability to run the big 1600's without a giagantic power loss. The 5 ton can fit the 1600's without suspension mods and has power steering as standard. The flipside would be the fuel economy would still be around 6-7 mpg I'm guessing on a bobbed 5 ton where the M35 should get 11-12. If you plan on driving your bobbed truck alot the lesser fuel economy of a 5 ton could add up when fuel prices start to rise again.

I personally think both M35 and 5 ton trucks looks cool as bobbed and both have their own niche.
