Trailmaster lifts? *Need opinion*

BeatAChevy289 · 12-17-2004, 11:35 PM

I just put in an order for a 2" Trailmaster suspension lift and I was wondering if anyone has used one before. I know they make body lifts too but I already have one, so anywho. Anyone have an opinion? I tried to search it and only got one link but it didn't have enough detail for my liking. Later <><

I bought mine used with a 3" trailmaster on it, and the thing rode pretty stiff. I swapped out all the shocks for some DT3000s and removed the smallest leaf from each pack. This helped out a lot and it allowed my Jeep to ride like a YJ and not a tank. I'm not so sure about the 2" lift, the springs wont be as arched so it may ride fine. As far as flex, its not great and its not bad. I haven't had a chance to test my flex out with the spring removed, but I've heard its really good.

BTW my trailmaster shocks were really screwed up when I put in the DT3000s. The front ones would hardly compress at all and the rear ones would compress incredibly easily.

Stiff lifts are a common topic at jeepsunlimited.com, so you might wanna check them out to get some more opinions.

Thanks, I may do that. Thanks for the info though. For the price it cost, I couldn't pass it up. Later <><
