<< Kyle, thanks for all the contact info...I'll try calling these places to
get
a good price on the lift... for Trailmaster accessories I'll probably want
the dual steering stabilizers and front skid plate...not sure what advantage
dual shocks will offer though...? Haven't decided on which TM shock
either...suggestions for a good rock crawling/general shock? as far as
wheels and tires, I think I will go 15x8 wheels after all so they don't get
too scraped up on the trails...probably looking at 33x12.50 BFG AT's... I
haven't yet started looking for rims, not sure which ones yet...as far as
backspacing I don't want the wheels to stick out from the truck TOO far, if
TM says 3.75" max, is this a good backspacing to use? >>
TrailMaster says use rims with a backspacing no more than 4.75", but suggests
using a rim with 3.75" of backspacing. I would as far a shock a concerned, is
to go with their top of the line shock, which I believe to be their SSV Speed
Smart shock line. This shock has all urethane bushings(which I wont get a
shock unless it comes with urethane bushings), "On the Fly" ride adjusting
which automatically adjusts the road conditions and various road surfaces.
This is similar to Rancho's RS9000 fully adjustable(with a dial on the shock
body) . With the SSV Shock, it adjusts itself automatically without dials. It
is really a great overall offroad shock. As far a dual shocks are concerned,
they will help to control the larger tires and not heat up as much and
deteriorate over time comapared to running a single shock with a large 33"
tire. Duals will not have as "soft" of ride as I think my stock suspension
has; it will firm it up a bit I guess is what I mean. Good Luck!! Let us all
know how it works out as well as prices!!!!!!!!!
