Hey Squanto804,
No, I sure didn't. I called the Trailmaster Office and requested some and they sent me some crappy copies that I couldn't even read. I would appreciate it so much if you could fax me a copy of yours. The fax # is (281) 479-6864.
I hope I will be getting a lift soon. One of the owners at a local offroad shop said that now that Whiplash has come out with 10" and 12" susp. lifts, he has some guys that want to get rid of their 4".

Any pics will work. Maybe some of the clearance or how it looks with the wheels and tires you have. Actually, what would work best would be a shot with someone standing next to the truck, just to give me an idea of what it's going to be like, trying to load the bed and all. Thanks

Here you go. Will get you photo standing next to it, but to explain I'm 5'9'' and my head is about 3 to 4 inches over bed of truck. I have to climb in and out to load it.

Thanks a lot. That's an awesome truck! Did you say those are 38" tires? What brand and size wheels are those? Right now I have the 3" body and would like to put a 4" susp. lift on it.

Thanks, I believe they are WELD Racing style scorpio 17'', don't know the width. Yes 38'' super swampers. I have the 4'' susp. lift too and with the 38's I do get some rubbing on hard turns. I purchased the truck already lifted and the dealer had no info on it. I did find the guy who did the gears and they're 4.56. Make sure who ever does the lift watches the rear because mine going in the shop Tuesday because of axle rolling. It was installed wrong, and i was about to lose my axle. Hope this info helps.
