So I have a similar situation - just bought a m1009 from a guy who bought it from GL and he did not get a SF97. I have contacted GL and they also told me that all they can provide is a notarized bill of sale, that they stopped issuing SF97s. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get a title? The...

king pin springs and bushings are new as well as the steering stabilizer and draglink ends. i would not have thought about contaminated pads, but will definately try this fix. i have not seen any balooning of my stainless lines. i thought this was more of an issue with rubber lines. mine are...

I have had my 1008 lifted for a few months and a few miles now but I am still trying to pinpoint my brake issue. Whenever I get on the brakes pretty hard, the truck wants to pull VERY hard to the right. I can counter-steer the pulling but I don't want this to become a safety issue if I ever get...

I need to put these on my to-do list. Both my lights still work but even on high beam it seems like I am driving with a flashlight.

A 255/85/16 is a good choice if you want a tall and narrow tire.

I don't really follow the arguement that a shackle flip adds stress to the frame. A properly designed shackle flip like the ones ORD and DIY4X make spread the load evenly over the mounting surface on the frame and IMO add no more stress than the stock bracket. I do not really agree that it...

IMO a shackle flip is the best lift option for the rear.

I was going to point out that the 42" bias ply swampers are probably your biggest cause of death wobble, but obviously you already know that.

If you have a 1008 you will need to buy different u-bolts for the front as well as another form of steering correction as these parts that come with the kit will not work on the D60 front axle. Depending on how you lift the rear you may need different u-bolts for it as well. If you keep those...

Looks good. You will probably be ok with the Humvee rims and swaybar still installed, but I am going to have to trim my fenders pretty good to clear my Humvee tires that I have mounted on 9.75" rims and I have a 6" lift (and my swaybar is removed). They do not rub just riding around on the...

I don't mind a little slop but the steering block IMO is not enough correction for the 6" lift. I really wanted to do crossover in the first place - I just needed an excuse to do it.:-) If you are referring to the crossover steering arm you can find it at Total Performance's store on ebay...

Sent you a PM

I found one for $50 with a blank rod end that you have to drill and taper - is that the one you bought? I believe it is made by total performance.

If I go with bigger tires in the future I probably will go with hydro assist. If I played in the rocks I would do it when I convert to crossover, but IMO for where I drive and the setup I currently have it is not necessary right now. Of course I may prove myself to be wrong again.....

It's fine with the axle attached to the springs. I had the axle really dropped down when it happened.
