    Just bought the truck, 2008 150,000KM 4L 6MT. Already got new wheels dont worry.

    Hey Just joined, been reading some posts decided to share my tacoma on the sight, and see if anyone can help me identify what lift is on my truck.

    Looks like a spacer on the strut in the front and an add a leaf in the rear. Hoping someone can help identify how much its lifted, what brand lift, if the shocks are upgraded or OEM.

    Here is a couple pics of the truck, and the lift components.

    I thought spacers are suppose to go on top of the top hats not then other way around. But look like those are 2 or 3 loft soacers.

    Shocks are OEM.

    Single leaf AAL and spacers up front. You probably have a 3” front and 2” rear leveling kit.

    Yikes! I hope you inspected the frame before you bought it.

    Bought it off my parents, got an insane deal.

    Toyota inspected the frame said it's not bad at all, doesn't qualify for replacement, but can get a free tust proofing.

    Thanks for the tips about the lift everyone. I added a couple more pics.

    Some dealers are known to say, “Your frames fine”, when it’s really not fine. Then, 6 months after your eligibility expires, they say,”Your frame is full of holes, but it’s too late”. Since your ‘08 is in the 11th hour for eligibility, you really need to find out when your date of 1st use was, and get it up in the air at a shop other than the Toyota dealer.

    Cheap spacer lift and a lot of rust. You better give that frame a serious going over. And do some reading here; https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/frame-rust-recall.263311/ . Seriously, forget your poll, don't spend a dime on that thing until you know the frame isn't about to crumble out from under it.

    For the love of all that is holy if you can avoid it do not do their CRC rust proofing!
