Help! Can anyone tell what lift this is just by pictures?

Bad question I know! But the dealer doesn't have very much info, and I figured I'd take a shot on the forums.
I'm trying to figure out what lift is on this truck before I go take a look at it tomorrow morning and more likely than not, buy it. Was hoping there may be some sort of distinguishing facts from the pictures for someone to be able to tell? Any input would be great, even if it's only on the approx. size of the lift.

Thanks!

Not sure, but the rear shocks look like the stock/TRD bilsteins? Stock TRD Bilsteins are yellow with a blue boot. At least in the top picture. Front looks like it could be aftermarket. If you do go look at it, be wary about the rear if they're the stock shocks as they weren't made for that much lift.


Edit: should have specified rear can't be completely stock and achieve that kind of lift

 

front is a 6" drop bracket lift, blue bottom neck means either king or fabtec coilovers, I'm gonna assume fabtec

rear cannot be stock, I'm assuming stock leaf pack with longer shocks and a lifting block

 

It's a 6" drop bracket lift (up front). probably block spacers in the rear. either procomp or fabtech. not great for serious offroading. Personally, I wouldnt buy a truck that has a DB lift. But thats just me.

Edit: damn i type slow

 

6" fabtech with blocks on the rear

 

Awesome, thank you. I don't plan to wheel the truck. I live in Oregon, and it will see it's share of logging roads, flat desert gravel, and snow but no serious wheeling.

What should I expect ride quality wise? Or longevity of the components? My understanding is that the Fabtech lift is one of the better lifts... Opinions? I like the look, and don't plan to do anything crazy.

 

Looking at the Fabtech site:
http://www.fabtechmotorsports.com/TOYOTA-4WD/TACOMA-6-LUG-2005-13/6-quot-SYSTEMS-c1304/

Even the most basic 6" lift comes in at $2100, that paired with the Fabtech coilovers up front, would it be fair to call this a quality lift? Generally someone that invests in good components on their truck, also takes care or it... I appreciate all the help.

Trying to get an idea of what I'm getting into. I'd like to buy a finished truck this time, something I haven't done before, and this one appears to be done right.

I'm coming from a 2001 Dakota 4.7, great truck but the head gaskets are going... I'm ready to step into a late... later anyway model, capable of some real longevity.

 

It's not exactly the quality we "enthusiasts" come to expect from a truck lift. Fabtech does well at what they do, but what they do is manufacture components that ruin the capabilities of these trucks.

Unfortunately for you, this type of lift is highly irreversible unless you want to whip out the plasma cutter and welder and start righting the wrongs.

I always recommend against buying modded vehicles, especially if it's lifted, because you just don't know the full story.

 

Never thought I'd say this... Nice Dakota. Got any more pics?

6" Fabtech lift.

 

That's at a dealer? Which dealer is it? I agree with everyone else, looks like a drop-bracket lift so either pro-comp or fabtech. Where in Oregon are you located?

 

But can I expect it to last? I'm more concerned with the longevity of the components, than the performance. I appreciate your input!
I've never been one to buy a modded rig before either, I built a 350whp civic from the ground up, and a long armed XJ. But at this point in my life, I want to buy it, drive it, and be happy. Understandable?

Thanks! It's my third one, but it's time for a change... I'll get some more up for you.
