Has anyone tried the trailmaster 2"kit

All I recommend is don't cut corners and buy the best you can afford, the previous owner of my jimny had a death wish, all unnecessary as the jimny is highly capably standard with good tyres. The higher you want to lift the higher the costs.

Does the "quality" thats supposed to come with the trailmaster show, compared to the likes of the procomp kits?

I know they are supposed to be designed for jimny etc but does the extra money actually show in performance, ride, life expectancy etc etc....

No i shall not cut corners ive budgeted £50,000 to make shaw lol,seriously im not in no hurry and ive got a double garage and summers coming so i can just plod and take my time enjoying the project and getting it ready for the winter and at the end of it i hope to have something that is as good as all yours hopefully lol.

That is a good question but i suppose your going to have owned both to know the answer,be good if someone did know.

well i have procomp and thinking about changing the shocks for trailmaster but not if they are not quite a bit better.. Thats a lot of money towards a rocklobster

That's a hard question to answer as Trail Master is a new brand to the UK... it's highly respected in Europe though, and the original parent company are huge in the US - www.trailmastersuspension.com . The European company is run by the Maas Group in Germany.

The kit I got for the Jimny is excellent, very well packaged for the delivery, clear instructions, and the parts seem very good quality, springs are springs so it's hard to tell from looking at them... but the shock absorbers are top notch, awesome quality.

To make a comparison against a ProComp "kit" is impossible, as ProComp don't sell a kit? They sell shock absorbers, which suppliers team up with springs made for the job. So the shocks are ProComp but the springs aren't...

(Historically, Explorer ProComp was a UK company run by MarchGlen engineering, and they did used to import ProComp shocks and bundle them with springs and brackets to make suspension kits for the Vitara and Jimny, but unfortunately the company folded a few years ago)

The kit certainly seems to flex well though... I selected the "comfort" shocks (rather than the "sport") as my Jimny is also my daily driver, I use the "Stealth" Vitara for offroad mostly...

On the road it's very comfortable, and even with the 2" lift it gives there's no sign of the Jimny "death wobble", there is a little vagueness to the steering though, it does tend to wander slightly at speed.

Trail Master recommend the kit is fitted with the steering stabiliser, which certainly does help with the lift added.

Hope that helps, so in summary, it's early days... the kits seem super quality, the service is amazing, 2 day delivery from Germany generally in my experience.
