98 tacoma with trail disaster lift

Hey im looking for some advice. I bought my truck 8 years ago not knowing anything about lifted trucks. After fooling with this lift and changing those p.o.s. struts its time to change a few things. I was gonna see if i could keep the lift but get rid of the strut they put in for the upper control arm and replace it with an aftermarket upper control arm that will accomodate for the six inch lift. Ive found some upper control arms on total chaos fabrication just didnt know if that would work or not. Thank you for your time

This is with the strut taken off. I was wanting to take the mount for the strut off and use the through bolt that is behind the spacer to put in a upper control arm

I would take off the lift and put the total chaos kit on and have real suspension that really works.

Solo motorsports makes a kit that has 18" travel, two or four wheel drive.

But then you'd have to do the rear long travel to match, but you'd have a real off-road capable truck that would be way fun....
