    D60/14BFF Axle Swap on M1009

    The end at the caliper is different. Get a good set of after market SS braided lines, do the rear while your at it.

    M1008 37"tires

    Some better side pics would help. Frt & rear has spacers on it for sure. Pics of frt springs also would help. Stock frt springs should be about level. 2-3 spring leaves stock up frt.

    Quick and legal way to connect generator to home

    I do completely understand what your saying & agree with you for the most part. The amount of electrical energy at the meter base is the same at an open panel where the main does not work & is hot. I routinely work on 3 phase 480v stuff, have electrician gloves & use them. To stay on...

    Quick and legal way to connect generator to home

    I have done this a couple times now, your right it does piss off the electric company. I refuse to pay for a permit for a disconnect that should have been there in the first place. In our neighborhood the houses MAIN breaker does NOT kill power to the house.

    D60/14BFF Axle Swap on M1009

    One other thing over looked is rear shock mounts. Not a big deal but they will need to be cut off & relocated. While doing so I raised mine up for more clearance.

    M1008 Front Suspension

    What kit are you looking at ? I know the title of your thread is noted m1008 but do you have a m1008 or m1028 ? You also mentioned doing a shackle flip in the rear, might consider doing a 1in zero rate with it to recenter your rear axle. Order ubolts from the same place you get your shackle...

    M1008 Front Suspension

    Yes, frt lift springs are all the same 1/2, 3/4, 1 ton. Yes, ubolts are different for the 1 ton (Dana 60).

    Moving a 40' Container

    Short answer is no.

    Moving a 40' Container

    The m1022 was for 20ft containers. I bought one to do this with. Long story short, it doesn't work. There is no sharp turning with a 20ft much less a 40fter. He has a "high cube" 40ft, it won't bolt up & besides even if it did, you would need 5 acres to turn it around.

    Moving a 40' Container

    Then give it a try with the F550 Ive hauled them with an F350 & a gooseneck. Edit: with a 30-35ft gooseneck that will put your trailer axles about where you want them. But keep in mind the farther you move the axles forward the less weight you will have on trucks rear axle (low traction) is...

    Moving a 40' Container

    Check with a container delivery company in the area. I had one moved a few years back (truck was a short wheelbase bob tail with a Landoll trailer) To put it where I wanted it, he had a sharp turn to make so he pulled the axles forward on the trailer to shorten the turning radius.
