Pretty sure you could get away with a 39 tooth speedometer gear and keep the housing that came with your ride. It would be close... I think.
I don't know for sure what color the drive gear is on the NP208 that is on the M1009. If you pull out the single 10mm head bolt that holds the housing...
Bilstein 5125's. (The one size fits all ORD front ones and 11" travel rears)
With one ton axles and big tires you have a huge amount of unsprung weight. I went with the shocks because I use my rig to commute in the winter, and about half of my drive is freeway travel. The Bilstein shocks...

Another opinion to toss out there on the rear disk brake topic.
A positive parking brake is a must have for me, so I have the stock drums. The stock drums are huge , heavy, work well and are plentiful. The only disk brake setup I have seen with a decent parking brake is a 2003 ish (don't know...
