    Lift question for M1028.

    Not doubting your frt stock springs have sagged over the years but keep in mind STOCK the truck sat rear high. When they load it, it would sit just about level. Also I think the shop should have run by you what they were doing before they did it, unless you just dropped it off & said "fix it".

    Why are impact bumpers keep being brought up ??? You can go down & buy a new truck without a rear bumper just like you could in the 80's.

    I don't see how it would be any different than all these golf carts, side by sides etc getting tagged. Like 1 Partiot-of-many stated my insurance company requires pics & they KNOW what they are insuring.

    Just trying to HELP the guy out. Guess we can't do that unless it's in the RIGHT forum. So instead of deleting it, Why not put it in the "correct" forum, so others might learn from it.

    Need M939 series front axle u bolts

    Inland truck parts or other such parts companies will make them for you. You shouldn't reuse ubolts, they are too cheap to risk it.

    After market wheels?

    There are quite a few aftermarket options out there. Check with a good Quality local tire/wheel shop. 1st thing they will ask is, What type of vehicle are they going on ? Nowadays you can even have wheels made to your specs.
