Thank you everyone for your imput on tire, lug, and rim size. I went to a lower profile tire from Firestone that also had the same weight /load rating as the tires that come with the trailer. Made a world of difference in in pulling trailer as the trailer sits at same level as the Blazer. No...

Thank you again. Yes, you are correct. The picture says everything. I can only reflect back to when I was an active duty MP and was stationed at Campbell Barracks, Heidelberg, Germany. Our Company had to turn in all of our M151A2's along with the M416 trailers. In exchange we received...

Thank you for braving the cold and hooking up your trailer to your M1009. That's is exactly what I want to achieve. I see you went to the lower profile tire: LT245/75R16. This is what I will look for. Is your trailer equipped with the surge brake on the tongue. Hard to tell. That in its...

Well for starters, my unit in army never once used a 416 quarter ton trailer behind a M1009. They did not track at all in the path made by the M1009. Our Company did not have any M416 trailers anyway. They left when the M151A2 (MUTT) left (turned in to DRMO). We were issued M101's to be...

Thank you for the info. It all sounds great but I would rather leave my M1009 Blazer stock not wanting to change over the pintle hook to a variable height hitch. I have one of those for my pickup truck so I can use the trailer for hauling wood etc.

I have an M101A2 trailer that I want to tow behind my M1009 Blazer. Because the trailer has 16" wheels and tires and a heavy surge brake on the tongue of the trailer, it tilts downward on the pintle hook lowering the rear of the Blazer. If I were to add leaf springs to the existing springs on...

Thank you for the info. I was told by an uninformed person that adding a leaf spring would interfere with the gears in the pumpkin and also the drive shaft angle and could cause other problems. I kinda thought he did not know what he was talking about. Anyway when the weather gets better...

I guess at this point in time I am s-o-l. What if I beefed up the leaf springs by adding another leaf? Would that adversely affect anything mechanically like the drive train?

The older M101 trailers had the 5 hole wheel pattern hubs on the axel even though the wheels were 16".

15" wheels/tires I would like to haul my M101A2 trailer behind my M1009 (Blazer). With the 16" wheels and tires, when hooking to the Blazer the trailer tongue tilts downwards and along with the surge brake on the tongue puts a strain on the springs/shocks on the Blazer and makes the rear of...

What is the 8 bolt pattern on the trailer? I'm trying to figure out the measurement of the 8 bolt pattern on the wheel. Then the center hub size. Thank you for the link. Hopefully I will find a fit. Harry

I'm looking to replace the 16" wheels and tires on my M101A2 3/4 ton trailer with 15" rims 8 lug holes. Anyone know where I can get the 15" rims with 8 lug holes? Please let me know. I would appreciate it very much.
