    Lift kit for M1009

    Hi Guys, Time to give a small feedback. Like I told it before, I tried to do a mix of diffrent advises I had from all of you. I've made my driveshaft 3 cm longer and put my T-case 1.5 cm lower. The result is pretty good, I can't feel any vibrations :) The only issue I still have is the...

    Lift kit for M1009

    Hi Guys, I got my rear driveshaft back ; I'll put it back on monday, I realy hope this will solve the vibrations issues. I choose to do a combination of two methods. I'll lower 0.5 inch my t-case and made my driveshaft a little longer... Let's cross the fingers now. I had to remove the yoke...

    Lift kit for M1009

    Thank you for the video ! I'll have a look on mine because i'm not sure that I have the small plastics stuts like his on the side. But it look the right way. He is not showing which type of u - joint he uses to replace the orignal ones. With metal clips on the cup or same design as the one he...

    Lift kit for M1009

    But both of you are 100 % sure that it can be replaced ? At that time there was no other system that was not supposed to be replaced on these trucks ?

    Lift kit for M1009

    Hi, Thanks to both of you ! Indeed and unfortunatly we don't have real driveshafts shops here. The shop where I brought this is a shop for semi trucks , but he told me also that he had to balance it. So I guess he will do it like it has to be done. He told me that the front u-joint (one the...

    Lift kit for M1009

    Because making the driveshaft longer, doesn't reduce the angles. It does but it's minimal. Lower the T-case 1 inch and it reduces the angles for 3-4 degrees.

    Lift kit for M1009

    Again, Thanks a lot ! My back block are "angled" already. With this I mean that they aren't flat and horizontal they do what a degree shim would do on a flat one. I'm also thinking about a kind of mix solution. Lower the t-case about half an inch and leghten a litlle my standard driveshaft...

    Lift kit for M1009

    I didn't drive a lot with the truck since I did the lift kit because of all the previous problems and issues told before. But yet, I didn't feel a huge difference in comfort. Altough a lot of people complain about pro comp... My biggest problems are : "vibrations and drive shaft lenght " and...

    Lift kit for M1009

    Hi, Thank you for the information ! I'm glad to see that you guys still read my stuff :) Since the last post I did some research and tests. I lowered the t-case about 1 inch and could see that it reduces the angles at the rear shaft. It also brought the slip yoke a little more forwards ...

    Lift kit for M1009

    Hi everybody, I have maybe found a way to determine my new driveshaft lenght. I found a guy who owns the same truck (same year and also military version) but without lift kit and on his orinal tires. I've measured how much the slip yoke is out the t-case one his truck and on mine and...
