Default New truck quick questions.

Hi I bought a 98 1500 qcsb which has a 3" body lift and spacers on it 5.9 4wd. My questions are 1. Is my check valve deleted? 2. What is this metal ring on my rear axle yolk? 3. What size and pitch are the cab bolts? Previous owner lost or forgot 2 of them. 4. How can I tell how much lift I have? Included pics of check valve, metal ring, and the front spacers. Also will be doing a build thread on this truck.

Those look about like 2 inch spacers to me. So that'd be 5 inches with the BL. What size tires?

265/75/16. Any idea as to what the ring on the axle is?

I think this is how it's supposed to go. I would guess it's some sort of dust shield.

How do I go about getting it back like that because the jingle jangle as I drive is annoying. Also I'll get some good side pics tomorrow

I believe this shield is to help keep string/line from wrapping around the shaft at the seal and chewing up the seal.

Just cut what's left off, and don't worry about it. It's a dust shield, thats it.

Alright that was my original plan just wanted to make sure it's been like that since the axle was on the old truck I bought last year
