Curious as to if anyone has heard of the Trail Master kits (I've never heard of them), this afternoon my stepdad showed it to me and it pretty much looks like a budget boost with shocks good price on them but, what I'm wondering is if anyone has heard good or bad things about them? :thinking: Here's a link to it: http://www.trailmastersuspension.co...x?t_c=1&t_s=38&t_pt=3533&t_pn=T/MTM3325-40013

You're better off keeping your OEM shocks and just buying a leveling kit for around $100.

my friend ran that on his TJ - lasted about 3 months before he took it off - really harsh ride.

IMO I've always thought the TJ's rode a bit rough

If your looking for a budget boost/ spacer lift you can really go with any. Without the shock and then spend a little more for better shocks like rancho's etc...just my 2cents:thumbup:

DON'T BUY TRAILMASTER!!!!!!!
I have one of their coilspacer lifts, it sucks. The brand is horrible. And above all, they're catchphrase is the worst ever created.
It's just cheap. Save and get a good lift that is worth the arm and the leg.
Don't cut off your hand to realize it wasn't worth it.

This looks identical to my 2" skyjacker Budget Boost i had in the very beginning since it is shocks and spacers. IMO i wouldnt get this kit. I would look into the teraflex 2.5" BB w/o shocks (or any any companies 2.5" BB w/o shocks) then get new aftermarket shocks like ranchos or bilsteins. you will be much happier that way.

Would I be able to run 35 tires with the 2" or would I have to go with the 3"?

Looks like Trail Master is owned by Performance Automotive Group, who also produces OR-Fab, and markets their products under a couple lines. They carry a lifetime warranty on their parts and are US based. Trail Master themselves has been in business 30 years. The majority of online reviews are positive.

Seems like a pretty good deal - has anyone actually used Trail Master and has an opinion to offer or is there just a general malaise towards them?
