Sometimes, you can tell what brand of lift by the shocks. If it is a Skyjacker lift, for example, it will have SkyJ shocks. Assuming the installer used the shocks supplied with the kit, and the owner hasn't changed them out. Since the engine is not original take a close look at how the EFI wiring harness and other parts to the 90 motor are isntalled. IT can be a nightmare fixxing someone's shoddy work, tracing spliced wires and non-original equipment.

If you are not a mechanic with a lot of experience pass on it. You will be on your own trying to fix any problem. Any mechanic that will work on it will be big $$$.
