Any one heard of "trailmaster" lifts?

It's not one of the ones that I have seen listed a lot. Does any one have experience with them? A truck that I am interested in has a 3" on it.

Thanks

i now a guy that has a 8 inch trail master lift on a mid 90's gmc truck and he hates it.
Also my dad has trail master shocks on his truck and they are all leaking, they said they had a lifetime warrenty but they wont take them back because they dont make that shock anymore.
I have neever seen anyone have one on a Xj.

That was my 2nd lift I got out of a junkyard XJ, trailmaster 4.5" lift.

I still have the 4.5" coils, they're ok I guess... not much different than anyone else's I suppose. I didn't notice much difference between them, the skyjackers, rancho or RE 6.5 ZJ coils on the XJ.

The leafs tend to sag prematurely. I used the main leaf from the 4.5" full leaf pack mated to S10 packs to make my leaf pack about 6" with 2" shackles.

The shocks suck ***. No better way of putting it.

The LCA's were pretty beefy though. Probably the best part of the whole kit, no matter how ugly they were.
