Any idea how lowered this is?

I just recently picked up a 79 suburban and I knew it was lowered but trying to figured out how much. Also to me it doesnt look like its drop spindles, I am confused because it rides really good for sitting so low.

Here are some pictures of the stance and spindles. Right now it has 245/45r20 tires on it (need to figure out offset and width so I can order a spare, any chance it would be labelled on the inside?)

Those look like drop spindles to me. The spindle would normally sit lower in the cast knuckle on a stock one. I am guessing a 3/5 drop overall.

Yep, look like drop spindles to me, too.

Clean up the back of one and look for the drop numbers mine had it on them

Thanks will do. Dont know why but just assumed they where not. When I pull a wheel off to measure it will see if I find anything identification.

3" front spindle drop is most likely for the Squarebody years or the 2.5" option.
