Default Trail Master Suspension 5in Lift Kit with SSV Shocks and Drive Lines

These kits must be fairly new since I searched around a little bit and couldn't find anything conclusive. The deal seems pretty legit. Under $3k for a 4.5" short-arm kit with front and rear driveshafts. I was going to go with the Teraflex kit, but wanted to wait until funds allowed for driveshafts. The instructions from the Trail Master website and Quadratec are extremely detailed. Some of the most in-depth instructions I've seen. The kit also looks super complete. The cheapest I've found was Northridge 4x4, but it appears to be a slightly different kit (with rear track bar, as opposed to relocation bracket) I don't know if this is just a delayed update or what.

What I'm trying to get at is: Does anyone have past experience with Trail Master? and has anyone had experience with this specific kit?

Thanks

I picked up a copy of 4x4 Garage magazine (Wrangler Edition) yesterday and they had a whole 2 or 3 page write-up about the Trailmaster 4.5" lift. Seems as though they were overall pretty happy with the lift and also Trailmaster's customer assistance. I'm suprised not more people have the Trailmaster stuff...they've been around for something like 30 years, and from what I understand, all their products are built right in the USA, not overseas.
