which lift??? - 11/24/2007 11:06:25 PM    Millertime21 Posts: 320 Joined: 1/23/2007 Status: offline I'm looking at buying either the 5" trailmaster or 6" superlift and I'm just wondering which one is easy to install. I'm not really worried about that 1" difference because I already have a 2"BL and 1.5" shackles. I also plan on keeping the 32" tires I have on since they are practically new. So which would be easier to install in your garage with basic tools and a welder? _____________________________ 1996 Blazer LT 4x4 2" PA Body lift 1.5" shackles/ 1.5" T-bar''''s cranked 32" Sport King A/T Brute Force CAI 2.5" stainless steel magnaflow cat back Taurus e-fan Ford 8.8" rear end (4.10) Wait4me Tune http://www.cardomain.com/id/Millert Post #: 1

Haven't heard much about the BDS so I'll have to do a little more researching on that.

Instructions are very easy to follow. I'm still waiting for my superlift kit to arrive, but I have noticed the Superlifts does have some quality control problems with kits missing parts. My buddy George has the kit and was missing some key installation hardware. If you get a Superlift kit, check everything before starting your install. I hope my kit comes complete when I receive it sometime this week. Overall you can't go wrong with either kit. Make sure you get the kit with the Bilstien shocks. _____________________________ Dave- 01 blazer 4x4, 6" Superlift Kit,15x8 on 32''s and 20"x9" on 33''s,New Jersey Chapter www.subsonickustomz.com NJ,MI,IN,WI,IL,CO,MN,AZ,NC, (in reply to Millertime21) Post #: 7
