That is a good write-up, but won't get you exact. I found it super useful when installing the Trailmaster lift, but I highly recommend taking it to NTB and getting the "free" computer alignment to see where you sit. I discovered that the C's on the axle aren't uniform and was getting 6.1 and 6.8 degree readings on driver/passenger side caster. Once it was on the computer at NTB, it turned out to be 5.1 exactly on both sides....a little bit of a misreading using the Harbor Freight magnet angle-finder 
How you liking the lift so far?

When you go to buy your gears and gussets go to 4x4groupbuy.com. I bought my TeraFlex lift for $500 cheaper then anyone else, also bought my superior axles for $120 less than anyone else.
Call and talk to Jason he is the owner and just tell him that Jayson that bought the TF lift and axle shafts told you to call and he'll give you a break on the price.

Yep, the explanation (and pretty drawings) really helped me understand how complex everything is and how pertinent it is that they all work together. I can't even imagine how an IFS explanation would be
So you opted for the dropped pitman arm??? I asked the techs at Trailmaster if it was needed with this kit (or the highsteer option) but they said it wasn't. I think I might still get one though b/c it's supposed to reduce all steering issues.

I'm shopping the Trailmaster kit for the Unlimited, and it's $1775 from Quadratec. Everywhere else it's between $2200 and $3000. Is Quadratec running an older generation or something? How much did your kits run?

$1775 sounds about right. Kit hasnt been out long so it cant be an older version
