Same as a 5 ton basically. The 5 tonners are adjustable though. I'll get outside late tomorrow and compare the ones I have here but they look interchangable

Let me start by saying when I bought my M108 the boom supports were attached to the boom in the storage position just as they're supposed to be. Nestled right alongside the base of the crane was another pair. The ones by the base are a slip design using pins for position. They're rusted stuck and I've yet to fool with them. I'm assuming that since they're adjustable, they were from a 5 ton. In their collapsed state they are the same length as the ones on my truck. The ends are the same size and design too so no reason they won't work on the deuce crane. One of these days I'll free these up and see what adjustments are there.
