Hey all--

Just did some serious offroading this past weekend at Tellico ORV trails near
Murphy, NC, although unfortunately my Dak did not have enough lift to clear
those trails (holy huge freakin rocks Batman!) so I had to ride in a lifted
4Runner...

Point is I want to get my '96 Dak more TRAILWORTHY...which means putting in
the 4" Trailmaster suspension lift (what other suspension lifts are
available? Any?), 33" BFG Mud terrains (I think they should then fit), rear
locker, figure out some sort of a swaybar disconnect for the front end, and
fabricating some strong rock rails to attach to the frame to protect the
sheet metal (kinda like really tough nerf bars)...

So I have a few questions:
1. Any DML'ers put in the Trailmaster lift? I want to see pictures!! Are
there websites with more pictures or info on this product?
2. Once in, are the swaybars disconnectable for better articulation? Or are
there aftermarket discos available that might fit?
3. Can I then fit 33's? Iwould think I'd be able to...
4. Any other suggestions for a more serious off road truck? Like anyone been
able to find skid plates to fit?

Thanks in advance for any help!
