Theres a reason no one runs that lift kit. Its junk. As someone already stated it uses ball joint spacers instead of using new knuckles. Also because it doesn't use new knuckles it has to use some strange bracketry for the steering to keep its correct geometry. Stay away from the trail master kit, stick to SuperLift or RCD.
Trailmaster uses balljoint spacers... those are just BAD. Get the Superlift kit and save yourself some money (I got mine for $1400 new out the door) and potentially save someone's life. Stay far away from the trailmaster kit.
there is only 1 good thing about the trailmaster kit- you can use it on a 2wd. this is because you keep the same knuckles. you can add a pair of lift spindles and ket a 7" lift. But, i have heard of that kit breaking and the steering conponents are just wacky. Too many parts to go wrong. The superlift kit is simple and strong. i paid 1380 for mine shipped. it was on sale though.
For some trailmaster info take a look at this thread.
