Well I saw the link for the new Trailmaster lift kit ...that was from a year ago. So it isn't really new anymore.
But does anyone have it or seen it. What's the word on it?

Here is the link if yor interested.

I have one that I had to modify alittle bit in order to make it work for my 97, but you won't have that problem.
What I don't like about it is the steering slide. At first it was very very hard to turn the wheel and it wouldn't come back to center. It still dosen't, and I have a few thousand miles on it. It almost comes back, but not quite. The super lift Ranger kit uses new extended steering knuckles as oppose to the knuckle extender going to the upper contril arm. The paint job on it started to flake off while it was being installed and they had 2 rear left torsion bar brackets, so We had to get them to send us a right one. If you decide to buy one make sure that you have all the corret parts and make sure that you grease the hell out of steering slide. It will be very stiff at first, but will get better with use. I have abused it now for about a year and it's holding up. I have bent the front crossmember on the drivers side but all in all it's still working. Their shocks are good, I like them.
The pictures in my registry don't work since photopoint went under, but I will have them back up soon. The only picture I can show you is the little pic under my name, to the side of this post. If you have any other questions, just give a holler.
