01 Tacoma double cab 6” Trail master lift

Been reading for about 2 weeks about lifts and what to do and called shops everywhere on the east coast, so, I’m wanting to get away from the upper control arm strut, I was told I could put a RC knuckle extension and an upper control on to bypass it or does anyone have any info on what else to do, going to replay all suspension parts little by little, just put a new motor in it, I’m a mechanic but I know little about lifts, hoping someone has insight if I have to I’ll buy a new lift kit but I’ve seen so much bad about it, currently my steering extension is rubbing the frame so it’s hard to turn. I really hope someone could help

 

I typed 1st Gen Trailmaster 6” lift in the search bar function. Here’s what came up:
