If you are fitting the ora bumpers you won't need to trim the bumper as they are designed to work with larger tyres

If you want to add more lift to a Trailmaster 2" lift without going down the Castor Correction/Trailing Arms route then take a look at a Body Lift. As these move the chassis as a whole unit they don't affect the castor etc.

Hi, Martin
Thank you for your reply!
I am planning to fix body lift as well - 2" or may be even 3".
I am doing all this in order to fix some bigger tyres - as 30" for example.
Only with 3"lift with out body lift, I believe that will be no possible.
Now I understood, that if I upgrade this lift to 3", then will be necessary to fix some flanges on both propeller shafts. It will be nice if some can share experience with size, material and way of fixing of this flanges. Is it necessary to fix for both propeller shaft or only on rear one?

Nikolay

Prop spacers are only needed if caster correction for 3'' or above is used. I have a 4.5'' lift with castor correction for 4.5'' lift and use a 1'' prop spacer only on the transfer box end of the front prop.
I have also just fitted a 2'' body lift from jimnybits as he can also supply steering shaft spacers, these are highly recommended on a 2'' body lift and above.

Hi MigCooper
That will be very nice to share your experience.
Do you have any modifications on your T-case , or diff perhaps - new pinion shaft and crown shaft?
