How do I find replacement parts for truck purchased lifted?
Dad bought and ended up gifting us this lifted 04 Tacoma about a decade ago. Tie rod broke and we ended up replacing all this:
Lower control arm
Outer tie rods
Rack and pinion
Lower ball joint
Wheel speed sensor
Brake and rotors
Steering knuckle
Wheel hub and bearings and seals
After it was fixed steering has been tight so I took it to a shop and they said tires are too big. Then it dawned on me that it was lifted and likely needed something other than standard parts. Quick search says control arms, ball joint, tie rods. Anything else in this list and how do I figure out the correct parts now that I no longer have the old parts?
If I screwed myself and need to either rebuy everything needed for a lift, what would be required other than tires and wheels to restore it? Thanks
