Well I'm guessing mine are considered stepped... I built mine with 3/16" plate fully welded.. You'll have to check my build thread for pics,I can't post from my phone... Pics that is. I am bagged but they can be done for springs also.

they are stock modified lower control arms......basically your making them step up where your ball joints are moving the spindle and upper control arm up higher...in turn moving the position of the wheel higher up in the fender well opening thus lowering the front end

my truck had these when i bought it, didn't really trust them so i junked them and replaced them with ones from a junkyard that i sand blasted and a fresh coat of POR-15 , added new ball joints, drop spindles and lowering springs.
