I bought it like this and I really don't know if it is stock height or not.



Thanks

 

trucks looks good. no lift. I have an 83 and i need some pics or diagrams for the front bumper brackets. I have a new oem bumper to replace some after market piece the previous owner had on. Would you be able to see how the bumper is attatched. The brackets i got were really odd shaped and I cant make sense of how they mount. Thanks for any help you can offer. chuck

 

I would say "no" off the top of my head. But some would argue that your springs should all be sagging by now for a +25 year old truck. So you could have newer springs under there...

Looks like a solid project, have fun!

 

x3 on the stock heighth. Truck looks like a great base.

 

It honestly looks like a 2" lift to me.

 

Yeah it looks like there is a little lift... But hard to say without peaking under there...

Um did you? Do you have a body lift, or suspention lift??

 

im gonna guess no lift just by lookin at the rig but 'thewjsand' could be right about the new springs..

 

I see light .. in the rear wheel well .. between the "skirt" and the frame .. that suggest a body lift ..



No question in my opionion , unless the "lips" have been modified .

 

Shouldn't the bumper and the bottom of the tail lights line up a little better too?

 

It looks like an aftermarket bumper but it does look a little low. Hard to tell from that angle it looks higher than stock to me. get a flat picture from the side and a good one of the rear. A buddy of mine had an 83 that thing was fun and tuff as crap it had a small lift w 33s and it looked huge.

 

no lift but maybe new springs like the other guys said. Also, it looks like the wheel wells were maybe trimmed and had some flares put in....

 

Take a picture of the suspension and we can help you out more!

 

and the body mounts

 

looks stock height to me
my 79 stock height on 33s

 

stock

 

looks stock to me maybe new springs, maybe trimmed flares too?!?

 

flares are deff. not trimmed on that truck

 

No lift, No trimming. Stock height

 

I notice a pattern....for the most part those who have 1st gen trucks say no lift, those who have later model trucks think there is a lift. These 1st gen trucks sit high. His truck looks just like mine, but maybe mine has a lift...I don't know. I put stock shocks on it and they fit, which I guess doesn't rule out a body lift, but you can't see the frame like I'd expect with a body lift. Unless my truck has a lift, I'd say you've definitely got a stock-height truck. I also agree that there's no trimming and those are definitely the stock fender flares.

Oh yeah, and you can see in my avatar what the front end of these trucks look like with saggy springs. My front leafs are beyond flat, they're actually starting to arch the other way, and that's my ride height up there. The first gens don't really get saggy like the later models, unless they've carried some seriously heavy loads over their lifetime.

 

Looks stock to me, but it also looks like the springs are in good shape, ie not sagging.
