HELP! is my truck lifted?

Hey guys, i bought a 3" block lift for my truck and i am trying to find out if my truck is currently already lifted as the rear end seems to me to sit pretty high and my goal after the block lift is to get the truck to sit level so i may have to lower the current lift on the rear before i get into the block lift i purchased, i bought the truck used and the previous owner didn't mention anything about a lift in the rear to me but i really do think it is, i was just wondering if anyone could tell for sure if i gave some information and posted a few pix so here it is, its a 1991 toyota extended cab pickup 4x4 with a 22re motor, heres the first couple of pix i apologize if there not extremely clear, i had to take them from my iphone The tires are 31x10.5x15 all around





HERES the Leafs, there are 5 total leafs stacked, if anyone knows if i do have one added in here more than stock if you could please tell me which leaf you think i should remove, (which leaf was the one that was added to gain the rear end leaf)





any help is appreciated, thank you =)

yeah there's clearly an add-a-leaf in there above the overload spring

DEFINATELY not completely stock


STOCK is only 4 leaves total; 3 upper leavs and an overload leaf at the bottom



I'm also willing to bet that your back brakes are horrible, and the rear of that truck is stiff and bounces like all hell

eww...block lift...really? what were you going to do for the front since you specified that you want to keep it level - bracket lift?

IMO, you should ditch that idea, keep the leafs the way they are because it looks a tad higher than stock due to the slight rake (1-2") and they're probably in there because it had the typical toyota saggy butt syndrome. get yourself some BJ spacers to give the front some lovin'. THEN, if it's not enough for you, get a body lift but only in the 1-2" range and some 33" tires. you should also go and throw down on some new shocks all the way around incl. steering dampener while you're at it - those ones look stock.

clean truck BTW and welcome to YotaTech!

If it was me, i would do just that.
But it looks like the OP isn't interested in wheeling so removing the AAL and adding a block will keep the stock ride quality and perform just fine on the road.
