Need advice on how much lift I have
Ok my truck was lifted I think when I bought it a few years ago. Can anyone tell me if it's lifted? I'll post a few pics. The shocks I replaced in the front were skyjacker H7092S. I replaced them with rancho RS999221. Both were for 2-3" of lift in the front. Here comes the pics. Thank you guys.
Think this is my sway bar? Has a drop bracket

Left an right top of coil springs


Pitman arm?

More control arm?



And a couple side views shortly after I got the truck.


The rear has about a 6" block off the axle under the 3+1 leaf springs.

It looks like somebody miss matched parts. Normally those sway bar drop brackets come with 5" kits. Now the pitman arm isn't a drop one cause they bolt from the bottpm, they just flip the tie rod. If I had to guess id say 2" in the front and 3" in the back cause these trucks came with 3" blocks factory. Measure from center of wheel wheel to the ground front and back and post up what size tires you have as well.
I have hankook dynopro 305 70R16 MT on stock steel wheels. I'll get that measurement in a bit. So do I have coil spacers? Just trying to know my truck and remedy the sag she's getting. Got a set of leaf springs on trade. Need to grind off the weld on my blocks to off set the extra 2" on the new leafs.
Old on top new on bottom.

It may just be that I've gotten used to the trucks lift. Come to think of it my tires only have about 1/2 or less tread left that would make it set lower and seem to set lower. I wanted to lift it more or put bigger tires on it but it has recently become our only transpo " our 01 intrepid 2.7l succumbed to sludge and blew the motor in about 10 miles". It's become our DD so I'll probably have to put smaller cheaper AT's on it for now. If it was up to my 5 yo daughter it would get a lift and bigger tires
. She loves to go muddin with daddy in the " Ole Grey Mare". My dad and my daughter so named it. New shocks in the back and replacing the passenger side leaf spring should regain its stance. Already did the driver side leaf. Wish I would of had access to the lift that weekend. Disconnected the rear shocks and had to jack the back of the truck up about 4 1/2 feet to get the block back in. Just to find out my u-bolts were about 1 1/2 to short.
Had to double stack the set of stock blocks I got with the springs. Driver side sits a lot higher than the other side. Gonna try and fix it this weekend. Don't look at my e- brake cable friend helping me did that and after 4 days of fighting it was to wore out to change it.
