So I'm about to under take the task of installing a lift kit, I was told by a shop who looked it over that I need torsion bar rear mounts, however I have absolutely no idea what part that actually is, my Haynes manual says anchor arm but I'm not sure if that's right, if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated!

Im not sure what your question is, what type of lift are you putting in? They’re saying your truck does not have torsion bar anchors/adjusters?
I have a 94 4runner and I'm trying to put in a complete 2" ome lift including torsion bars, the shop I brought it too said I need to replace rear torsion bar mounts, the part that sticks out of the frame, all I'm asking is if it's an actual part I can replace or if it's part of the frame. The pics I included were from a forum post showing what I'm talking about. thanks in advance
Are the mounts that are welded to the frame rusty or cracked? Or are the adjusters just rusty and seized? You need to figure out exactly what they mean.
They are welded in, some or all of these brackets were order able once upon a time.
The brackets look better than the frame from way over here on the other side of the internet. Take a wire wheel to them and see what you really have under all that mess.
Are you sure they weren't talking about the arms on the ends of the torsion rods, you can't see these in the pictures and they'll have to come out to get eyes on them anyways.
These brackets are pretty basic, could knock them out in a day (mostly) with a good press. The arms are a whole other story those are cast.

So your hardware is most likely hammered from cancer, but your brackets look highly suspect as well. How is the other bracket? Link for new hardware below.

have new hardware from my local Toyota dealership ready to go, the bracket I believe is what I'm trying to find a replacement for, the other side isn't as bad isn't impressive by any means

ok I'll wire wheel away this weekend, are the arms your talking about anchor arms cuz I found a part for that, the brackets if needed to be replaced where should I take them to be remade?
Have you tried to finding parts using an overseas vendor?
I've had great luck with the following mob...the delivery was fast as well. https://partsouq.com

That does seem like it will be a pricey repair bill but the only thing I see is the rust issues and the spindle replacement.
everything else is more or less routine wrenching.
if you have the resources to do sas, you can fix what you already have, for less. Just my 2 cents
