Default help confirming lift on my truck **with pics

Can anyone help me verify the lift that is on my truck? I'm thinking it has 2" coil spacers up front and 4" blocks in the rear. What is the factory rear block size? Also, is this some sort of drop bracket for the steering components? I'm looking to get a set of 20x10 Fuel Hostage wheels, and I already have a set of 37x13.50x20 Nitto Mud Grapplers that i want to try to tuck under her. I'll post some pics of them standing next to my 35's later. What size lift is it taking everyone else to clear 37s?

I had a 6" on mine and 37s fit but would rub a little when turning full lock. I use my truck to haul my jeep to offroad parks and I hated the lift and big tires on my truck. When the 37s wore out I took the lift off and sold it. If you tow much you will be happier without the big tires and lift.

I think the bracket is to upgrade to the newer style track bar, 2'' leveling kit on front end, and I'm not sure about the rear blocks.

Those blocks on the rear look stock. I have the same ones on the rear of my truck and it came from the dealership like that. That's just a leveling kit on the front.

Yeah looks just like mine, mine is stock with 2.5" coil spacers up front, but yours look like 2" coil spacers.

Looks like stock rear blocks and 2-3" leveling coil spacer. Since your truck is a 5spd it has a dana 80 and those came with bigger rear blocks as they were set up more for hauling. Stock they had a rake towards the front since the rear sat up higher.

Awesome input guy! Thanks a ton. I want it to sit a little higher. I'm researching my options now. I'm looking for another inch or two without breaking the bank.
