    Your going to need his love if you bought this POS lift cause that shit is a death trap. When you install the lift and then drive it say hello to God cause you'll be driving a lift meant to meet your maker.

    Oh and praise to Allah

    So you did buy it!

    Guess you can't reason with someone who's dead set on something.

    Big congrats to the seller.

    Indeed, and trail master lifts hate every single Tacoma. if you DID buy the lift, you will hear "POPs", "clanks", and possibly blow the second strut. All the is normal. If/when the second strut assembly begins to leak, replace it right away. If it breaks, you will loose the whole wheel/brake assembly, more than likely while driving.

    Nice job staying away from the junk OP.

    Body lifts are generally frowned upon as well, but you're probably better off with that than the Trailmaster.

    Don't pay attention to the nerds on here. They are bored, so any new person who comes along and doesn't already know everything gets bashed.

    Nerds.....lol. We only bash people who do zero research and put unsafe shit on their trucks. OP should of said ok well Ill stay away from the death trap lift. I'm on a budget, so can any of you recommend a good cheap safe lift?

    Instead he just derps


    Have you ever seen what happens when a cab flies off the frame from a body lift?

    LOL

    This site is people's place for research! Newbies come here expecting to get help, not get harassed. He obviously took the points made into consideration as he didn't buy the trailmaster.

    I've seen plenty of pictures. Not condoning body lifts, just saying that (from my understanding) it's a better option than the trailmaster if he really is looking for a cheapo lift.

    Don't want it on your truck? Don't put it on your truck.
