    Soo this is an old but still pretty decent Trailmaster 4" lift kit. It's on my 1998 Toyota Tacoma ext Cab 5speed manual with the 3.4L V6 4x4. I've replaced the ball joint on the driver side and the cv axle (due to the shitty ball joint). She's up and running now. Need to mess with the rack and pinion possibly the intermediate shaft. But FIRST! I need to address this dumbass "Secondary strut/upper control arm delete" and get this bullshit replaced. Unfortunately with my luck they don't manufacture or sell them anymore because they are faulty. I'm going to fix it now and play with it. But when it fails I'm swapping it. It's currently IFS but she will be SAS after my pockets get a little fuller.. anyway. I'd like to go the cheaper route of solving replacing my upper strut assembly considering I've invested quite the chunk of change so far. Shoot me a message if you know what's up! Save me! Get the yota goin'! Thanks for reading my novel. Also I just bought the 1985-1993 VW golf KYB strut inserts just need to get them machined tonight then install them would like it if you guys gave me pointers??
