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

We just bought this truck and i cant figure out if it has ben lowered or not. The reason i think it has is how close the rear axle is quite close to the frame. Have been looking into flip kits and even with a c notch i am not sure it will fit. I am gona be buying a lowering kit soon and am trying to figure out what springs i need to buy. Oh and not sure if this matters but the tires on there are 255/70/15. Thanks.

It looks like the 85 I bought last month. I do not think it has been lowered. This truck has 235/75/15's on it.

Ok thanks. What would be the best way to lower the rear? I have seen schakels but dont think they will fit the spring is already close to the bed. I have also seen spring hangers but not sure how that will work with the pinion angle. And not sure if we want to do axle flip yet. Any ideas?
