Post Need Installation Instructions: Trailmaster IFS kit

Does anyone have a copy of the installation instructions for the Trailmaster 4" IFS lift kit for second gen Explorers?

I might have a PDF of it on my computer at home. I'll see if I can find it later today. I think I have a copy of both the Super LIft and Trailmaster kits from when I was comparing the two.

That would be perfect and exactly what I am looking for. I purchased a used Trailmaster kit which I will install soon, but in a few months (after I save some more money) I plan to dump the Trailmaster steering rack and put Superlift knuckles on instead. Those two PDFs would come in mighty handy!

After all these years, finally decided to put the suspension lift on, Gerald?

Me too.

Yep, Herc died. I got a new Explorer that is a twin, and will build it up a little differently. I'm staying with 33's - not going up to 35's - and the final suspension lift will be this Trailmaster w/Superlift knuckles and Herc's RCD coilover conversion. I might have the only "RCD SuperTrail" lift in existence when all is finished

Ok, I have both the super lift and trail-master install kits along with a whole lot of pictures from of someones sport with the super lift kit on it that put coil-over shocks on the front with the superlift. PM me an email address and I'll get them sent off to you.
