new to me driving project truck. lots of work to be done. i'm not overly familiar with types of lifts. so I figured I would post some pictures and see if anyone else happens to spot anything that might be informative. checking also to see if its visually obvious any changes made for the axles as well since I know thats a common things for people to do to these trucks.



what I know: I can see the truck has a body lift. I measured the blocks at 3". I can also see on the rear it has blocks under the springs that I measured at 2.5 inches (below the stock block, effectively meaning I have 2 blocks... the stock and the aftermarket). I cannot tell if the rear springs have had anything changed or added, I think the rear axel is stock but not 100%. my door code is 39 which a search tells me would make this a sterling 10.25 with 3.55 gears. I will assume given the trucks lift appears to be "whatever was cheapest" that rear wasn't re-geared if it is the stock axle. on the front I genuinely dont know. a suspension lift of some kind I assume but it seems that "suspension lift" is a bit of an umbrella and there are multiple ways to get a suspension lift... if I understand correctly. what I do know... is that theres shocks on the front axle and the bumper has been cut for some reason... seemingly related to the springs given the location of the cuts. (reverse shackle maybe?) I also assume the front suspension is the stock Dana 50 TTB ( these axles still have the tag... but I cant read anything on them). I also have no idea what size this lift on the front is or how to measure (other then just assuming 2.5 to match the rear block).



any help would be great. (and yes... 3 tires need replacing. its all a work in progress. lol)
