Hey Squanto, I see you have the trailmaster 4" lift on your ORP. I'm looking to pick this kit up now that I have the wheel/tire setup. My question to you is that if you are satisfied? Someone with an Expy posted that his driveline has vibrations, and it has to be modified, and overall his was not pleased with trailmaster. He said the lift is the same up front as a F150. Any info you can provide would be great.

 

Hi Z71Killer, I just got done writing on the thread "Trailmaster vs. Superlift.." about the problems he's having. I DO reccommend the Trailmaster lift. I have had no problems or know anybody that has had problems with it. I would love to help with any questions you might have. Go for it, it's a blast. Nothing had to be modified except changing the gears(which don't have to be done, just helps moving the bigger tire) and the speedo gear. Drives better than when it was new. There is no driveline changes at all. Don't let them scare you off about lifting your truck. Good luck

 

Thanks for the advice Squanto. I was always going to go with the trailmaster, but that vibration issue the other guy was explaining got me worried.

 

Hey Mudder,
Nice truck.

JMJ,

First off, welcome to the board, you will find a lot of great info here. I got the roll bar out of a truck accessory catalog. I believe it was the JC Whitney one.
