Default Lift advise

Bought this rig yesterday been sitting for couple years, after looking a bit closer it’s got a terrafirma lift, not sure if it’s condition etc. Should I swap it to my 2004 ? Should I just check the shock movement ? The springs look rough but I don’t think they go bad right ?
Bad idea ? Also it’s 34 inches to bottom of wheel arch can anyone confirm if that matches to a 2 inch kit ?

I have the TF MD 2" and mine sits at 37" with a 31.75" tire. I think the hub center to fender measurement is more accurate. My hub to flare is 21.5" on the front 20.5" rear. Those flares might have different profile compared to stock too.

Here are mine L&R. They are different as drivers is supposed to account for driver weight.

oh wow that looks exactly what I have

I think I will check the struts up and down movement and check the bearings

if I can use this it will be a major score
bumper 1700 cdn
snorkel 3-400 cdn
fender arch’s 400-500 cdn
lift 1200 cdn

got it for 1500

the green is one of my favourite colours on these. The body and paint is so nice. Too bad it’s probably going to the scrapper soon
if I had land or room I would keep it

or I might sell it to someone they can still take parts and roof rack from it rear ladder cdl etc

if no one buys it I will strip it down abs pump window motors regulators window tracts bottoms fuses relays alternator etc all coming out for spares
