    I just got the truck and I don't know what kind of lift this is and can I stack a leveling kit on it or something cause the back sits higher than front ????

    I'm going to guess that it's a spacer up front with an add a leaf and new shocks in the rear.

    I don't see a block under your spring. And rear shocks don't provide lift. how many leafs are in your leaf sping springs? Their might be an Add A Leaf. Typically the rear sits higher than the front even on stock suspension. If everything is stock maybe the rear springs have some life left and you just have a rake from back to front. The leaf count will solve the lift question.

    Oh I see, so you have a coil seat spacer and possibly a top plate spacer or coil spacer that goes on top of the coil under the top plate. Still can't tell what you have in the back.

    My suggestion is if you do any off roading or just want a better ride then I would get rid of what you have and go with some Coilovers and new leaf springs would be ideal. But there are cheaper options to lift, which is what you have.

    Some of this Some of that
    Looks to be pro comp shocks all around with a top plate spacer (maybe 2 to 2.5 inches just guessing by cv angles) and probably an add a leaf in the back. Pics of the side view/ pics of the leaf springs? Is possible it only has shocks and no lift.. Can't be sure

    Well what you have is basically a leveling kit. I don't see anything on the rear, unless your truck came with 3 leafs stock, I see 4 leafs so there could be an add a leaf or those are the stock 4 leafs. Some 2nd gens come stock with HD rear springs which have 4 leafs.

    If your wanting a leveling kit then you already have it with the spacers up front. I can't figure out why your sitting so high on the rear. So your rear end sits a lot higher than the front? Cause it looks like you have about 2-2.5" spacers up front which would be more than a leveling kit.

    No, no one would recommend stacking anything on what you currently have. If your weren't a 4x4 u could do a spindle lift but since you are a 4x4 then your options are to take out what you have and replace with new spacers, or replace with an upgraded suspension (ie. Coilovers, or lift coils and new shocks). If your wanting to level the truck and don't care what the ride feels like then the cheapest option is spacers. But with suspension parts, you get what you pay for.

    Are your tires 285/75/17?
    If they are that = 33.8 which tire company wise that = to a 34" tire. Did the previous owner do a lot of trimming to fit these tires?

    That overload it a thick HD overload. I've seen folks take off overloads but that's because they had 2. I'm not sure on removing the only overload. Also I've read of people taking off the middle leaf. I think that would be your best bet, taking out either the middle leaf (not counting the overload). But I would double check which one is best to take out.
