OK, I currently have the 3" Body Lift on my Explorer and I have been looking at the Trailmaster 4" lift for awhile. Keep in mind that this is my daily driver and give me some opinions...

I'd take the body lift out and go with the suspension lift. If you have both in, I would think your road driving characteristics would suck (Rollover posse here you come!!:roll: ). Anyways, IMHO, a suspension lift is way better than a body lift anyday!! More frame ground clearance.

Put in the 4" lift, and take out the body lift. . .that's my plan.

Oh well, i said keep both, but what do i know i'm 85% Pavment pounder and 15% off-road, LOL did you see the post of that guy selling the 4" trailmaster for $450?

As a member of the rollover posse, I say if your goin to lift it.......lift it to the sky! I've got 10" total lift and mine is drivin 50-80 miles a day with no sway bars on it and it drives fine. I mean you got to realize your a big dawg and not a low rider.

I agree with RFR2212. You should do the lift then decide. You may like the massiveness of it and decide to run 35's.

Well, since Santa gave me two frozen diffys and a blown hot water heater, the Trailmaster is out for quite a while. The only thing I will be able to swing this year is going to be a set of add-a-leafs and the rear locker... maybe next year. Thanks for all the replies tho guys...

2 Frozen diffys? what happened?

Christmas eve I parked the X in the yard so people could park in the drive. It sat there all night and then through the day on Christmas and when I went to move it at 1100pm on Christmas day it would not move. Well, since I never got around to changing out my diffy fluids before winter, all the water that was in my diffs from wheeling froze. I had to take a hair drier out to warm up the diffys enough to get the X to move and then drove around the block about five times till it warmed up from the friction. Then the next morning I took all the back roads to work and got the diffy fluid changed at lunch. The old fluid was SO bad that it was a grey color and was sticky like elmers glue.
Next year I will definatly be getting the fluids done BEFORE it freezes.:nono:

Damn that sucks, well at least you got it changed and nothing major happened, are you gonna move your diffy breather lines now?

I was thinking about it, but as deep as I go some times into water it is just as easy to get the fluids changed every year and it is only like $30 to do it.
