your new here so before i explode, i will tell you,
Trailgear was born out of a botched business deal, Marlin was going to be merged and it went bad, cause somebody who now works for trailgear did his best to steal MarlinCrawler Inc from Marlin the man.
so to answer your question YES many have tried it, I for one would burn my truck to the ground before i used a TG anything,
the ir springs are made from chinese steel thats known to sag,
Marlin springs are made from USA steel by a USA company, thats why they are a bit more expensive
You get what you pay for
