I have new springs on my M1008 and the front is a factory type 4 leaf set up. Thank gawd the 35's smooth out the ride.....

Exactly, Friday evening I pulled a 2wd truck out of a deep ditch back on to the pavement. I just put the transfer case in 4 wheel low, locked in the hubs and pulled it out with ease. Of course I'm still trying to figger out how they missed their driveway entrance and went into the ditch....

What did you do for front springs?

If you're planning on still using 33x10.5x15 tires, a lift kit is wasted $$$$. I can tell you from personal experience that even on a factory suspension with sagging springs, you will have zero rubbing on any terrain. A 33x10.5x15 fills the wheel wells quite nicely and the road ride is outstanding.

I thought a 480le was an electronic controlled transmission??

Got the leaking freeze plug fixed and a new fuel filter. It feels like a new truck now, I can actually pass other vehicles on the highway. Lol

I have those tires mounted on the factory 15x8 wheels on my K10.... you won't need a lift. They will never rub the fenders.

You won't need a lift with 33x10.5x15's..... I have them on my 74 K10 with sagging springs and I've never had any problems with tire rubbing... not even off road.

I have the same issue at the moment, freeze plug next to the drivers side motor mount is leaking.

Blindspot mirror so I don't flatten a BMW Mini, Fiat, Smart Car, Miata, etc..... lol

Lol.... the steering column needed some tightening up, so I had the same guy that repaired the steering column in my 79 K20 do it. No more sloppy shift lever...

Replaced CUCV ignition switch with a "normal" GM switch so the standard issue CUCV key can't be used anymore. Speedometer is next on the list.....

It will never be used on the pavement. Besides, we hardly ever get winter driving conditions here in Ga. A locker in the front will be strictly off road only....

Lol.... going to pick up front and rear bumpers this week that already have Warn winches on them.

Gave mine a bath and removed more grime from the interior... lol

I'm sure this been discussed many times... lol Thinking about a Spartan locker for the M1008 for the Dana 60. Factory steering and 35's.... nothing extreme. Any pros and cons?

Better in daylight...

Got the M1008 back from the spring shop and put the 35's on it. Now I have to climb in it.. lol. No rubbing anywhere on pavement, but I'll have to do a lil fender trimming just to be on the safe side for off road use. Not a great pic, it was dark when I got done changing the wheels.

If you want stopping power, stick with the drums on the 14ff....

I'm just surprised that so far anything I've touched on mine has been metric while everyone else is saying theirs is SAE. I'm a lil confused.. lol
