The kit also includes red and sunset pre-cut decals, chromed bumpers with push bar, and a rear body post. Also new is the long arm lift kit for the TRX-4, as visible in above image, that adds over one inch of ground clearance to TRX-4 models without compromising suspension or steering geometry. The kit includes longer arm links and shocks, taller springs, extended driveshafts, modified servo mount and all necessary hardware. They are available in standard gray or brilliant red or blue tough powder coated finishes. Last but not least are wheelbase conversion kits to adjust the TRX-4’s wheelbase the easy way with these two chassis conversion kits. Both kits include the appropriate shocks mounts, suspension links, and centre half shafts to lengthen or shorten your wheelbase. These kits make it easy to install a short body like the Ford Bronco onto a long chassis setup like the TRX-4 Tactical or vice versa.
