de-dropifying questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ok so first of all i have an 89 swb 4X4 the PO decided to drop it 2/4 and im fairly certain the rear is an axle flip shackle type of thing. but i have no clue what the front is. I'M mostly looking for picsof different ways to drop this type of truck. (88-98) and how or what i need to repplace to bring it back stock. any help is much appreciated.
pics will be used for comparisons so i can figure out how mine is lowered. as i dont have a working camera at the moment. Thanks
EDIT: PICS ARE NOW AVAILABLE OF MY DROP KIT. please if you could identify what needs to be replaced to bring my truck back stock. i have no clue and dont want to get in WAY over my head.

So are you wanting to raise it back up?
Pics would be a great help.
Can you borrow a camera?
Phone pics?

You will need more pics to verify what is going on. I can tell you the rear is not "flipped" as the springs are still on top of the axle. It's been a while since I have been under an 88-98 but I know you should have more leaves in the pack. I "think" you should have 5 leaves and a thick overload under them.

I can only guess that the front has had the torsion bars cranked down.

what type of pic? like from front? should i get one of the torsion bars and or keys? or is it even possibble to tell if they've been cranked by a pic?
