Does my truck have a 1 or 2 inch lift?

    despite what others have said, the clip/lower spring seat does not determine lift height. The spring AND the lower spring seat along with vehicle weight determine ride height and thus the lift. A access cab 2WD 4cyl will be higher than a TRD OR DCLB with the same parts and settings. Just measure and compare to stock.

    Those are Old Man Emu coils. The sticker on there will tell you which ones.

    SPC uppers are solid. :thumbsup:

    Looks like a 2 leaf add a leaf on the leaf packs, but hard to tell from those pics.

    You have bilsteins 5100’s with an old man emu spring. That tag on the coil of the spring on front suspension should tell which one it is specifically. But really it will be ranged from 2 inch to 2.5 inch. There are a few different springs that it could be.

    yea, looks like you have 5100s with OME coils. so with that setup, the lift comes from the spring, not the setting on the shock. but depending on which coil, (its most likely 885s, I think if you're just stock weight, i.e. no armor, winch, etc up front). That set up usually yields 2-2.5" in the front.

    in the back, it looks like a single AAL, with the overload still in, which usually gives about 2"

    this all adds up to me, since stock, the rear is 1.5" over the front, with an empty bed. overall, its a pretty solid, budget suspension lift.
