Pros:	Moves Tie Rod Ends Down To Factory Angle Unlike Superlift
Cons:	Uses A Spacer At The Spindle Instead Of A New Spindle

Installation: Install was rather simple. Just a lot of work and a lot of time was needed (18 hours or so). All the hardware and bolts/nuts/washers and whatever else all come in the bags and was all there.

Difficulties: The only problem we had with installing the kit was the front differential remounting. The stock crossmember wasn't giving enough clearance for us to slide the differential in. So we heated up the crossmember and adjusted it so it would give about 3/4" of clearance for the front cover of the differential (just like stock). Also, we had to fabricate the steering extensions/brackets from the rack and pinion so it wouldn't bind when steering.

Review: I think it was a decent kit for the first one. Superlift has made improvements on the kit, but the Trailmaster kit is cheaper and a decent suspension lift. The spindle to ball joint on the upper control arm is connected through a spacer, which is a little cheesy for me. Some have complained about this and that is why Superlift has made a full blown spindle for their kit.
