    Whatever it is , it's not much. Looks like maybe a spacer up front, hard to tell , can't see top of the coilover. Looks like a block in the rear. That Tacoma has a serious offset.

    That's a block lift for the rear (the metal block under your leaf springs). In the front you have a drop bracket lift, but no name on it. Most drop bracket lifts are 4-6" and use a large spacer at the top of the front strut assembly in addition to that large bracket under your front diff. You truck surely isn't 6" high, It's most likely ~4"

    Lift block -

    Thanks Guys for the info! Sorry I didn't clarify, I am aware this is a drop bracket with rear blocks combo but, not sure what Company its from or if that coiler is factory?
    I've put a deposit on the truck and just wanted to try and gather all the specs.

    Looks to be a shock extension rather than a spacer:

    There should be a part number stamped into the front drop bracket somewhere. If you can find that number I may be able to find the manufacturer.

    No I haven't. I'm buying the truck out of state and haven't seen it in person. I was trying to get the sales guy to take a pic of it but, he hasn't gotten the right angle. I figured if I found out the "brand" of lift that might tell me better what it is.

    This is going to be more of a Baby carrier/mall crawler than anything else but, I do love an aggressive look :muscleflexing:

    ouch on the shock extension...gonna be a rough ride.

    looks to be a cheap lift kit so make sure the salesguy doesn't justify it to rack up the price of the vehicle.

    I missed it upon first glance, but figured the top of the strut assembly looked to be all the way up in the coil bucket and was trying to figure out where the lift was provided. Then I noticed it lol.

    ^ This.

    This lift is the cheapest of the cheap, probably also why there's no brand on it.

    I see there is a bracket for the sway bar drop also. BDS uses shock extension also (not saying this is a BDS kit or they are the best)But at least another named brand uses the same method.
    The price of the truck is not inflated by these add ons which is why I haven't really asked them to inspect it .. If they find something it may actually increase the price.

    Depending on how you plan to use your truck it may not be any problem at all. Besides, the suspension can always be changed after and fine tuned to what you want. I'd focus on the truck itself and make sure that's in tip top shape.

    Absolutely! The truck is good 1 owner and the carfax is well detailed. All seems to be in order. Only reason I was looking at the odds and ends now.

    Correct BDS uses this as well as their other brand Zoneoffroad. I have the zoneoffroad 5inch kit on my tundra and its not bad at all. Now im not offroading tho or anything just drive pavement. Ppl always say cheap but this set up is better then a strut spaced on top

    Everything. Literally.
    Find the part numbers. Should be able to identify the manufacturer with that.

    Its a 2015 CM Platinum - landed this one after writing a check and fedexing it over for a TSS with Leather installed from Katskin - only to get a call the day of to let me know Someone sold the truck from the sold lot... so I said F@#k it and made lemonade with this Platinum :proposetoast:


    This will definitely be a pavement pounder. Thanks for the first hand input!

    I only have suspension pics now that the sales guy shot for me. The dealer took down the listing. I'll get some up when she gets here and I switch the wheels, Paint the grill and get some painted handles and mirrors. Going to put some 20 x 12 -44 on 35's
