Totally agree with Denny, it is an amazing lft. Even though the price has went up at Quadratec, it is still worth the price. I did not have to buy anything additional other than gearing, but that was due to my 37s.

 

Have had several wheeling opportunities on this lift now and absolutely love it.

 

Did you guys install zerk fittings on the control arms? I know they're graphite impregnated, but is any maintenance required on them?

About every 5,000 miles or so, take off the cap screws and put a few drops of 3-in-1 oil in them. Grease isn't recommended for these particular joints.

 

i didnt realize that either, thanks for the maintenance info!

 

You will also need a ball end allen wrench to get to the cap screws on the axle side.

 

I only had metric ball end wrenches and had to use a 4.5. It was loose in the screw, but a 5 was too big. So looking at a conversion chart, I would say to get a 3/16" allen wrench.

 

Fellas, glad to hear the great success with Trail Master! I have the great oppurtunity to wheel with them. Checkout the video in the Phoenix JK's group page. Their new long arm is like no other long arm. It should be a hit! I know what my next lift will be!!!

 

Well, I've had this lift for over a year now and thought I'd do a little follow up. The ride is still great and I haven't had any trouble from any of the parts. I took measurements immediately after installation, a couple months after install and again today. After initial settling of about 1/4", the coils have not changed a bit. The height today is about 1/8" less than after initial settling, but I think that's mainly due to tire wear since I've put about 12K miles on them over the past year. About the only thing I can say is that some of the bolts will loosen up, so keep an eye on them, but this is true of any lift kit. Also, as a part of regular maintenance, it's recommended to add a few drops of 3-in-1 oil to the flex joints. I would add that in addition to oiling the flex joints, make it a point to grease the drive shafts at the same interval.

Here's a few recent pics of my jeep along with some action shots.

While in my jeep, it was sitting so level I didn't realize how much the front axle had drooped in the next two pictures.

 

i am thinking abou geting this lift. any more updates on this lift? thanks
