Yeah, phones can be phunny about posting pics.

Think the trick would be to measure it out, ground to lip of wheel well, (front and rear) and compare it to a stock truck. See what it comes out as.

The bottom spring in your leaf pack is an overload spring, it really shouldn't do much until you have a pretty good load in the bed. (at which point, it might actually ride better......)

Might be aftermarket springs... no spacers, or anything, apparently.... Shocks look original. as do the control arms and such. So probably not more than 3" lift.....

Here's mine measured center of wheel to fender. I have V8 2500 coils on the front and a short length add a leaf in the rear. I would estimate I have 2" lift. And here's what my leaf pack looks like.

I will have to measure cl to fender but another website says stock springs are 11.5 lip to lip and mine is 15 so 3.5 front I'm assuming

I have another random question that I'm hoping my plenum repair may fix. The truck ran amazing before the plenum gasket blew but o/d was always weird. In 4th gear the truck would accelerate fine but once it hit o/d it felt like it didn't want to move anymore. It shifted at around 45-50 mph into o/d and wouldn't accelerate unless half throttle and even than. I know the valve cover has leaked for a while and oil has sank down onto the transmission but that shouldn't cause any problems I wouldn't think. Anyone know a fix?

Fix the plenum, and while you are RIGHT THERE, do the valve cover gaskets.

Blown plenum will make your truck a dog in fourth....

Cat still installed and intact?

How many miles on the truck?

Cat is still there. Midpipe is shot though. I planned on doing valve cover gasket as well. And new plugs with a super coil since these are fouled big time. I will also eventually be replacing the entire exhaust hopefully this year partially due to the blown plenum burning all the oil through the cat. Headers back. I may need to run sea foam through.
