Does anyone know what typ of lift this is?

I am wondering what typ of lift this truck has. I am thinking of buying the truck.

Here are some Pictures.

Don't know about the front but it looks like stock springs with 3 or 4" blocks on the rear. Very dangerous and cheap, cheap, cheap IMHO. If I bought it, I would have to buy some rear lift springs before I drove it very much (Marlin, OME, Alcan, etc.). That first photo is of some type of rear traction bar. I assume they installed that to keep the axle from torquing with those blocks on the rear. You wouldn't need it with rear lift springs.

What's the lift on?

looks like an early 4" lift kit... could be from anyone. both trailmaster and pro comp made several adjustments to their kits. I bet there were at 4-10 more companies in the US who made these...

Strange to have a rear torque bar on the side... but the blocks are common among the kits mentioned above.


But I would also get real springs in the rear. The front do not look that bad.. Maybe in my buildup thread there are pix of the newer style trailmaster 4" lift kit...

Looks like some kind of diff drop bracket up front, doesn't do much but it's more stout than the blocks. If the price is right rear springs are an easy fix for the blocks.

so all I would need to get is a set of 4" lift springs? Do I need shackles?

Hawkeye, that is a Pro-Comp 4" kit, although Downey never built a kit like this, it does have a couple extra features similar kits do not have. The big problem is that rear spacer blocks destroy the rear springs prematurely. Most with a kit like this wait until the 3" spacer blocks have flattened the rear springs, then they buy our 3" rear springs for use WITHOUT the spacer blocks. I guess this is not a bad kit if you don't mind pushing all the suspension equipment 4" further below the frame than it already was????
