Assuming that one had a 4" IFS Trailmaster kit, and wanted to dump the knuckle extension/steering slider mess of the Trailmaster, would the project be as simple as using Superlift knuckles in place of the Trailmaster knuckle extenders & steering slider (while keeping the rest of the Trailmaster lift hardware)? Or would something not fit right? :scratch:
 






I don't see why not (both are 4" lifts, so the geometry at the lower arms should be correct), though I've never actually done it.
 






My thoughts too; but I'm hoping for someone who knows for sure since that's a lot of money to spend on a hunch/gamble.
 






the Superlift spindles would definitely work better than the 2 piece Trailmaster parts>

and as for the caster camber, being as the lifts are the same, and the Superlift was designed to replace the stock spindle it should align right up, without the use of the steering slider,

i have the Superlift, no slider there, just uses stock tie rods,,
