Thanks for clarifiying. Like I said, maybe I was wrong. I never doubted your support though.
Actually, let me clarify a little more... We have in house urethane capabilities here. Turn around on a mold and production run of parts takes maybe a week the first time. So, we knew we were going for a 5" front 3" rear on this kit. A three inch spacer in the rear imo wasn't anything crazy or out of this world scary. New coils take 12-16 weeks to get from our supplier. So we shipped for about 3 months with a rear spacer. That's the only difference from the 1st to 2nd version of this kit.
For the 3rd version, like I said, we still have the original 3 jeeps running around this area with no complaints or issues but from all the feedback we made a running change and added the trackbar bracketry.

Decon...
Thanks for the heads up notice on the welding issue. I'll make sure a note get's added for future interests.
Just a quick heads up though. You could easily install the entire kit in your garage and then drive across town to your local welder to have it done. Obviously don't be hot rodding it there or urban crawling across some short cut on the way though... It's just a quick little 2" long bead that needs to be done. If you prep the weld area yourself I can't imagine any welder charging you more then his minimum charge to strike an arch or maybe a 12 pack of beer if you go to a more low key place.
Shoot me a PM if you have any issues or questions during the install and I'll get you my direct number if you have any issues.
The phone orders... We were primarily a company setup to sell just to the jobbers, not to the consumers. We just recently setup that shoptron thing and depending on how that goes we may eventually setup to sell phone direct but not yet.

Ahhh yes- thanks for that too: I forgot about that lil' tidbit-- besides- WHY go with a cheapy budget boost (spacers) when for a lil' more you can get 4 new springs?????
I like the idea of having a lil' extra clearence-- not just the minimum needed

I can't wait till the all the T&D is done for the 5" kit .Reason being I live way over seas and would'nt mind getting a kit with drive shafts included.I see Trail Master proving to alot of people that thier new kits will meet up to standards.
