Do I have a lift?

I'm not sure if my truck has been lifted or not, but I'm guessing not. I measured 22" from ground to cab, 37 to bottom of headlight, and the front springs are about 13". It has 35's on it now. They only rub when I turn the wheel too hard, I think they hit the radius arm.

I'm buying a poly bushing kit, but need to know which c-bushing to get.

thanks

Oh, it does have some sort of spacer or block in between the rear springs and the axle, but it almost looks factory (at least in the dark a minute ago) and is about 4". Is this stock or something added to level it or something?

Oh, I guess you need to know it's a 79 150 4x4 sb

I have a 76 frame (250) with 79 body (150) and 8-10 inches of lift with 35's sitting 32.5" from the ground to the bottom of the frame. Subtract my lift and i'd be at 22.5" so i'd say you are at stock height.

Although, 35's dont usually fit well without lift, are the fenders chopped?

What you should be doing is find the angle of your radius arms on flat level ground and ask others with a lift to do the same. This will help you figure things out easier rather than measuring body heights.

I guess I can check the angle. I just figured there would be some way to tell from measuring the springs or something.

Most of my bushings are bad or gone, will this change any angles much?

Do stock trucks have the spacer between the rear springs and axle?
