Does this truck look lifted? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought this truck a few months ago, and now that I have the frame done, I'm ready for shocks. I don't see anything on the frame that leads me to believe it has been lifted in any way, but looking at the photo, does it seem to be sitting higher than a stock 4x4? The shocks I was looking at state they are for a truck with 0" -2" of lift, so I'm 99% sure they would work

It looks to sit the same stock height as mine. Could just be my eyes. Those shocks you have should work fine.

Look at the front springs. Stock springs will be flat or have a slight negative arch to them, If they have a positive arch, or blocks then it has a lift.

Thanks for the info. I think I'm good with stock shocks. Once I get at least the rear shocks on, I can start on the exhaust. Either gonna tow the frame somewhere and have it done, or attempt it myself with the kit from LMC

(BTW, the frame doesn't still look like this
