Theres a trailmaster 4" lift for sale locally and was wondering how hard it is to install?

I have installed coilovers on my car so I could probably do this but never messed with t-bars and IFS, just macpherson strut assemblies.

Any special tools needed?

Anything maintenance-wise to do while I've got stuff apart?

Are bracket lifts, which is I guess what the TM lift is, harder on your steering components?

I wasn't really interested in a lift but its in my town and dirt cheap and it comes with all the bolts and original stuff.

Well, yes, and no.

The bracket lift is just a bracket lift that moves your differential, lower control arm, and your wheels down...
They're not hard to install if you are mechanically inclined. just a bunch of bolt-on stuff really.

And steering components might get worn more if you do more 4x4ing..

Thanks, I think I could handle it, I just had it on a rack so I was able to get under and check it all out. I can't get it now though since it needs wheel bearings and an idler arm. I can do the idler arm but I doubt I will do the bearings myself... I dunno I gotta do some research now. The shop said they might just need repacked but the labor costs the same so...
