I Thought I heard that you had to cut off the stock bumpstops and weld new
ones, but I was wrong, there's NO cutting or welding on the Trailmaster kit.
I confirmed this through their Tech line (1-800-tech-tip). The tech guy
told me to expect 8-10 hours to install the kit and new wheels are required,
regardless of the size of tires because the stock ones will rub the upper
control arms. Installation would be in the $300-400 I would guess, but with
no welding, I'm sure you could do this yourself.
