Default 6 inch lift on 08 1500

Ive been searching for a while now to find a 6 inch lift for my 08 4wd 1500 QC ram. I was at a gas station today and this dude pumping gas next to me had a sick black ram with this 6 inch lift from Trailmaster. It goes for around 1700 bucks which isnt too bad compared to other companies.

Does anyone have this lift on their truck or know anything about this lift? Do you have to do any other modifications to make this lift work? or is it just as easy as getting it installed?

Any info would help. Thanks

I ran into the same problem, everytime I searched for a S/L they were for 2500's or 4X2 or a couple thousand dollars. Let me know what you come up with.

Default Lift

I have been contemplating a lift for a long time now, I have looked at BDS, Pro Comp and Tuff Country. I kinda put a lift on the back burner due the the ride and steering issues I've experienced with my leveling kit and 33" Mickey Thompson ATZ's and 20" XD Spy's. I am not happy with the ride at all. I put on billsteins and it got better but still rides like a hay wagon. I'm kind of leaning toward the Pro-Comp kit with the coil overs, 2500.00 though is hard to swallow. I did add an aftermarket dual steering stabilizer which made it steerable as well. anyone out there have any imput on the ride quality with the lift vs without? With coil overs or without? Thanks.

I definitley dont want to do it if its going to mess up the ride quality. I drove a lifted wrangler for 2 years and know what it is like driving a lifted rig. Just dont want anything that has too much body roll or anything crazy like that. More guys on here have got to have lifts. Please let us know what its like.
