What do you have against 4inch trailmasters. they're really nice lifts

They're too tall and don't improve travel.  I only want 2-3" of lift.  I'll probably end up SAS anyway, but if I could figure out how to do SAS with only 2-3" of lift, I would not be looking for an IFS lift.

use a one inch drop hanger with 2 inch shackles and stock front springs

I had ifs and it sucks. Once you finally go to a solid axle conversion you will wonder how you could have considered anything else.
If you still have control you aren't going fast enough

"use a one inch drop hanger with 2 inch shackles and stock front springs"

If I am not mistaken, this gives me a problem trying to run crossover steering - my understanding is that I need a minimum of 3.5" lift to use anyone's arms.  Is incorrect?

you just have to move the steering box forward. that is the problem I ran into with the 2" lift springs on my sas.
