So I decided to use the 12 bolt hummer wheels I picked up along with a set of 36x12.50 tires used from Birgtires in Fayetville. Man do they pull in every direction!!! I also am using 2" spacers behind these wheels b/c they definitely wouldn't fit by themselves. Im still waiting on my swaybar...

Well I finally managed to get my lift on!!! My dad and I put the front on Tuesday afternoon and a buddy and me put the rear on last night :beer: I was going to re-use my rear ubolts but wasn't able to due to rust so I had to use advance auto parts ubolts for the meantime. They are grade 8...

Not sure but it could be that you left your service switch in the off position...

Was it the bolts like what Boiler was refering to? If its the bolts, could I get better quality bolts to put in? I'm defintely looking into a high steer down the road, I'm just looking at making what I have work for the time being...Thanks

Well as for your starting, I would crank it the first time for 2-3 max then shut it off. After another 3-4 seconds turn it back on to crank again. Just a saftey measure so you don't burn out your starter, although I'm sure it would take a lot more than 5-10 seconds repeatedly to burn it up...

Thanks for the heads up...I'm gonna give it a go for now b/c I got it with my kit. I'll keep an eye on it and check into the drag link down the road when I put on the high steer kit!!:grin: Truck looks good . . . are the tires on the back bigger than the front?

There are people on here who have done it, but I would suggest searching for it on here.

Blocks in the rear cause axle wrap and wheel hop . . . the last thing you want to do is spit out a block in the middle of no where. Boiler ~ I'm about to put on my 3/4 ton rough country lift . . I decided to go with a dana60 raised steering block instead of what you seem to have used in the...

I wish I could help but I just purchased a set of hummer tires and am going with the 2 part 12 bolt wheels

I would also suggest putting a battery charger on your front battery, b/c continuing to crank will drain your batteries

So when are you planning on putting them on your truck? I'm going to pick my tires up this Saturday, the last piece to my puzzle!!:)

Nice job, glad to see your gonna be back up and running!:beer:

I've also read on here of a few people running two red top optima batteries in the back tray and a regular battery in the front tray with a solargizer charging the front battery for all their accessories. This way you don't have to have a battery in your truck...this would be what I would do...

They should but over time they turn to a frown . . . thats how it is on my M1008

Definitely nice to carry around in the truck :idea:

Not sure but I've already got my lift so I'll let you know . . .

Well I just received my lift kit and I would definitely need new u bolts to fit . . . thanks for the link to WFO. Luckily I have a forklift and I'll be posting some pictures of the truck flexed out . . . thanks for all the comments now just waiting on tires and new ubolts:beer:

Cool, would I be able to use the same u bolts on the front that are on now? Or is it better to just get a new set?

Check out pirate4x4 under the vendor section maybe . . . theres a guy selling 37's with 90% tread all day long . . . he quoted me $530 for a set of 5 37" tires shipped to me!!! I've been trying to decide which route to go

Sounds like a sweet set up there, post up some pictures if your able . . . well I just ordered my rough country lift kit and after talking things over with a couple of friends I decided to go with the 3/4 ton 4" lift, steering stabilizer, and 56" springs in the rear. I almost was going to order...
