I was going to class today and seen a 2nd gen 4runner in the parking lot. Well to make a long story short, I noticed that the kid put a lift on it so walked by a looked at it. The rear lift looked like springs but it had weird looking nylon pull straps on it. I was running late to class so I could get a good look at it but does anyone have any ideas.

 

They were most likely limiting straps.
