Haha I just want to be like all of you guys.

The Trail Master perches require the factory coil perches to be cut off and then the TM perches get welded on at the correct angle. If you think the rear springs are still bowed too much after everything is dialed in, you can always buy some Rock Krawler wedges to get the bow out if you don't want to do any cutting and welding on your axle.
Good to know - sometimes it's hard to tell the instructions from the sales pitch after reading the installs.

I know. I was just busting your chops.

A lame attempt at humor, but it was early in the morning for me, so ..................

Default Free Hats

Hey Folks,

I know that we've got a bunch of trail master kit owners that respond to this thread, and I want to make certain that they get hats if they want them (I've got a limited supply). So I'm posting a thread that I've also posted on the Manufactures Forum.

I know there has to be at least 100 owners of trail master kits on this forum, so I've purchased 144 hats to give to this forum's user group. These are very high quality Flexfit hats. I can only give each person 1 hat.

If you've purchased a trail master suspension kit or leveling kit and want a free trail master hat, please PM me your address -- color preference (Forest Camo, Desert Camo, or Loden) -- size preference (S/M or L/XL). I'm limited to 144 hats so this offer is, well, limited.

There is a tag line on the back of these hats, "Straps are for the bedroom Not the trail". If you find this offensive don't ask for a hat. One of my marketing gals asked that I mention this.

Below are photos of these hats.


This next hat is actually Loden. This hat should look more green than tan.




Hope to get all the JK-Forum members that own trail master kits pimped out with great hats.

I don't have a trailmaster kit, but I love the tag line on the back of the hats
