Looking for advice on doing a 1" or 2" body lift. Still trying to reach a better understanding of the description in: "Making a 1" HMMWV Body Lift" Probably will be much more clear once I get the truck home...

Any advice on doing a 1" or 2" body lift? Ive read the post on making a 1" lift: "Making a 1"HMMWV Body Lift". However seeing some pics of the parts and maybe installation would be great... Seems to me like the steering wheel angle might change and the airlift loops will stick out above the...

Your tires seem to be different on the left vs the right? Are they all the same tread width? I'm looking for "newish" tires for mine, any recommendations(paved surface)? thinking of going with lightly used original issue Goodyear. However I've been very impressed with BFgoodrich AT in past...

Wow! a full quart? seems like that would make a big difference. do you add a quart every time when filling up?

how do the 3speed 6.2's compare to the 4speed 6.5's? top speed, MPGs, etc... I've read that military fuel being different, the 6.5 develops problems when switched to regular civilian diesel after having run on military spec diesel for some time. Is this true? Is the 6.2 also affected by such...

17mpg sounds awsome to me! I was reading some reviews that mentioned 10... probably the civilian models...

I'm trying to understand how some of these 6.2 m988's can have readings of 55 or even 60 when I've read that 25 and 30 are normal. I had thought that higher pressure was a sign of a less worn engine. What did these engines have for oil pressure when new?

I might be getting a little off topic... But you seem very knowledgable so I'm seizing the opportunity. Any body lift kits you can recommend? Mine has the 6.2 with almost 8,000miles on meter. The oil pressure gauge reads a little over 30(normal?). but the oil is very dark. do you think putting...

Looks great! new top, doors, and tires? how many miles did the meter have when you picked it up? Is it lifted? any thoughts on coil spring spacers? I've read that if you want to fit a 12valve cummins, a 2" lift is needed. I'm guessing that lifting it will also bring the tires closer together...

Nice! looks like a snug fit. what year is that HMMWV? did you drive it on?

Thanks for the U-haul tip. I'm actually hoping to use my skidsteer trailer. It's a Pequea rated for 10,000lbs, however the axles can hold 12,000lbs and the frame is the same that's used for both the 12,000lb and 14,000lb models. It's a bit short at 14' so I may have to find a different hauling...

Sounds perfect. My trailer has about 84" between fenders. I'm guessing that the 86" which is stated on the official chart, includes side view mirrors when folded?

Does 83" take into account the bulge at the base of both tires?
