> any longterm feedback on the trailmaster 4" suspension lift? <

+ looks good
+ no problems with the lift itself since install (25,000 miles, >2 years
ago)
- good luck finding a pair of wagon wheels for the winter with the 3.75"
backspace req'd by the kit. if winter isn't a concern, not a problem.
- 32x11.50's rub when the suspension compresses and the wheel is turned ~
50%. even with slightly adjusted tbars. i had to grind the sheet metal
back on the rear of the wheelwell for additional clearance (not visible due
to molding).

»steering stabilizer is a good idea to save your steering components from an
early demise (due to bigger tires that are pushed further out)
»the 3"(2"?) TM body lift would be a nice accessory. i have one sitting in
the basement that's waiting for me to get motivated. it would help with the
wheelwell clearance issue, and allow for more fun in the mud and probably
33"s.

hope that helps some.
