Default Trail master any good?

I'm looking for a 4.5 inch lift kit for my 94 xj, and trail master has a kit that has full leafs and it LOOKS like everything I need but a new track bar. Is trail master any good? Success with them anyone? Reviews?

I run that exact kit on my 90 trail rig. Its basically a rebadged procomp lift. It flexes decently and the ride is ok. I ended up getting my full kit for $350. Cant beat it and the lower arms take some abuse as I've had them over some rocks. Highly recommend you get longer lines to compliment the lift.

Full kit for 350? How'd you spin that off? And did you need a new track bar etc? What else did you need to get to complete it? I will be running 32's

Rustys kit is all made in NA not China and very cost effective but not that cheap for sure and I suggest you take a look at the things that are required for a 4 1/2" lift. Cost is a major factor going from a 3" lift to a 4 1/2" one when I did so a year and a half ago using my 3" leafs and coils with ACOS and Boomerang Shackles doing it correctly cost me almost $5k. Then I shopped for almost a year buying parts to do it when they were on sale like gears, lockers, SYE, driveshaft, Dbl. Shear Track Bar, Adj. U/LCA's, etc. The list was long with lots of little extras that mount up like tires and wheels also the correct ones.
