Superlift , BDS , Trailmaster - which is easier to install ?

Post by Blaze One »

I don't have a welder so I was wondering which kit is the easiest to install and would required the least amount of custom metal fab . I would love a kit that was just a " bolt on " kinda deal , where I would not have to Cut or weld anything . I guess cutting is fine but I can't weld . Are any of these kits applicable ?

The BDS and Trailmaster don't require welding. I've installed both and can say that the BDS is definately easier to install and is much better built. The trailmaster's downfall is the rear bolt-together crossmember IMO. It has to be loosely installed and then adjusted to the correct measurements given in the instructions before it can be tightened up. The BDS uses one-piece front and rear crossmembers. All of these kits are going to require cutting of the OE frame brackets. I believe the Superlift requires some welding for the rear portion of the kit.
