Gotcha... yeah I know squat about 'em. I'm not off road THAT much so I want to keep the lift resonable (price wise). Just want a few inches (don't we all....lol)

They don't mention anything about the filler neck on the gas tank.

What about this:

Or can't you do this one on a TRX4?

might cause you problems in the long run, best to stick with readylift level kit or a real 4" suspension lift...

IMO performance accesories in not a bad body lift, never heard anything bad about them unles syou get the one random guy who says the truck fell off the frame because the body lift sucks, but all in all it was probably the installer that messed it up.

Interesting. Their site states "The OEM spring seat can be positioned to provide no front lift or provide up to 2.8" of front lift". I wasn't aware of this. If this is true, why is everyone selling coil spacers for the front when all you would need is to reposition the spring seat and install some shock extensions?

Please keep us updated on this because it now seems like a better way to go.
