Need help with identifing this suspension drop ....

Ok I need to define what I have . When I received the truck it had already had the drop.....

Regular Stance ....


My Truck .....


Here is some pics of my suspension. Please forgive the quality of the pics..
Spindles ... Drop Spindle ?



Spring/Shock ...


Shackle ..... Belltech ?


Again I have no clue as to what I have. Please don't flame me I'm totally new at this but I'm learning fast.
I would give ya better pics but I'm 6'1" and weigh 260 . To get 'under' this truck I would need A) Forklift or B) Ramps. I don't have either ................. yet . LOL
Thanks for any help given .....

.............................., peace Brian

Those spindles look stock to me. I could be wrong, but a lowered spindle should have the shank up higher. I would guess, shorter springs in the front and shackles and hangers in the back. I had a 95 chevy with the same drop. Try to scrape the crud off and look for a brand name off those drop components.

I agree. That looks like a stock spindle due to the spud location. I'll guess lowering springs as the don't appear to have been heated.

Thats definitely a lowering shackle. Check the spring hanger at the front of the pack. Is it bolted on or riveted? If its bolted on, you have a hanger kit too.
