HELP me identify this lift!!
some guy wants to trade front suspensions with me becuase he wants to go back to stock but he bought his truck with the lift so he has no idea what is goin on with it to me it looks like a drop bracket lift but im not familiar with those lifts so could someone pls give me some input on this lift? much appreciated .
for reference his truck is a 2000 taco mines a 98 runner and i know the rears are leafs on his and mine are springs but as far as i know the fronts would still be exchangeable right?

Theres really no way to go back to stock with DB lifts on these things, When they installed the lift they had to chop of a support bracket for one of the control arms, So major modification would have to be done to get it back to stock.
Oh, Check out SC4runner 's profile, he has info about taco lifts on 4Runners..

do a solid axle swap or long travel front suspension!
Not only that but the brake lines were never extended!! try loosing your brakes on the
front and see what happens!

Yeah thats a trailmaster lift. I have it. I have mixed feelings on it.
There is really no easy way for him to go back to stock, and if you want that lift, then you'll have to cut one of your crossmembers as well.
Obviously the 2nd hydraulic struts are toast...
Yeah the 2nd strut acts like an a-arm. Its freaking weird. I am actually going to buy the fabtech spindles ard replace my TM struts for the time being before doing a straight axle conversion.
The kit works well for moderate offroading, but, it falls apart and needs major maintenence... all my bushings and ball joints are toast. But, ive had the kit on for about 4 years with only one broken part.
