only reason I think its 1" body lifted is because of the "light" in the wheel well

Yeah, I don't know too much, I just know that my truck looks just like that. But like I said, I could have a lift...but I don't think so. Maybe you can just see the light because the spare tire is in the bed, instead of under it. I don't have a lot of examples around here other than my truck. There are a couple other first gens around, but they are definitely lifted, so I don't have much to compare to. It wouldn't be a huge surprise to me if that truck (and mine) were lifted, but I don't think they are.

No question in my opionion , unless the "lips" have been modified .
if you look closely you can tell that the light is under the frame.

stock height, I had stock springs in good shape under mine and it sat exactly like that, Most people's stock springs are sagged out.

Yeah I totally thought we beat this to death but I guess people like to drag threads back from the dead...

I have to explain this same thing to people in person when they see my truck. No, it doesn't have a lift...

Totally. In fact I may drag up some other threads and let people know that my opinion hasn't changed yet on them, either.

Sorry original old thread poster if you didn't look at how old it was and now we're giving you crap, but it's fun!
