Default Trailmaster Suspension 5" Lift Kit with SSV Shocks and Drive Lines

Driveshafts (drive lines) included. Trailmaster forum rep thinks Quadratec made a pricing error. If you check other sites, the price is around $2500. Sure is tempting, and Trailmaster is now owned (for a couple of years at least) by OR-Fab, so I suspect their quality has improved considerably.

What I can't figure out is whether the 5" is total, or an absolute minimum with 6-7 inches possible.

Here's a pic of kit installed on a 2DR:

Default Travis Spotting

Forgot to mention this earlier, but saw Travis (in his JK) this past Sunday afternoon coming out of the Home Depot shopping area at Hughes Rd / Hwy 72 intersection. I don't think he saw me even though I was driving the Rubi (have to get it out on the road occasionally to keep the battery charged ).

I had a good turkey day until I was leaving a friends after dinner. Cold tires and heavy throttle does not mix. Layed my Harley down in the road . I still have a sore wrist and about 3 grand and count on the Harley . I guess that is why I have insurance.

Ouch. Sorry to hear about the mishap, but glad you're all right.

Default Smokie Mountains

Looks like I may be pelted with a little snow while up in the Smokies this weekend . . . am ready for zero degree weather.

If I survive backpacking, hope to make the Mountainside ride in a couple of weeks.

Damn, that sux man. Glad to hear you are all right. Bikes are fixable. But it is just a crappy feeling right after you tear something up like that. I have been there, done that tooooo many times.
