    Lifted 1008 brakes

    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...

    Front driveshaft boot

    A couple of weeks ago when I installed my lift, I let the front differential droop down too far with the driveshaft still attached and ended up ripping the boot. I really want to replace it, but after asking around a little I was not that it is not absolutely necessary. Just wondering what...

    Extended brake lines

    I read in another thread where Westech stated that brake lines off of a '94 Chevy 2500 2wd were a direct replcement for the lines on the 1008 but were 4" longer.

    New guy - lift question

    I am going to install a 6" lift on my M1008 in a couple of weeks and have a steering question. After looking through several old threads, it seems that the general consensus is that crossover steering is an almost must if you are going to be running a 4" or larger lift. I was planning on...

    New guy from East Texas

    Hello all. I picked up a M1008 Friday and have been driving/enjoying it all weekend. A couple of problems have already surfaced, but I have found plenty of good information here already to fix my problems (death wobble and alternator). I have also ordered a 6" lift and plan to run 37" Humvee...
