Drop Spindles??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 71 SWB that I bought off of EBAY a few months ago. The thing has been lowered a little bit, but I'm not sure how much. It is a rear coil truck. The rear has 2 inch blocks, but I am not sure if the front was lowered by spindles or springs. I want to lower it more, but I don't want to buy new spindles if I already have drop spindles. Is there any way to tell by inspecting the spindles if they are drop spindles or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
