Lift(?) Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The guy I bought my new truck from said it was lifted 4" and I am newish to all this lifting/4x4 stuff, while I see the blocks in the back I am curious as to how the front end was done, also what kind of T-case I have? The current Tires are 31x10 on 16.5 rims. While I am at it, I assume 16" rims will fit, though it seems tight (finger width) between the caliper and rim... (It had wide 35" Swamper Boggers on it previously, notice the clean metal on the side of the steering arm... )

(Poor Poor Front Fenders... )

(this explains why I have no Speedometer... )

I was told when i posted the truck on the '67-'72 forums when I got it, that while it had a '67 cab it was sitting on a newer frame, and while looking at the other recent thread about the lift on superchevy's '72 GMC 2500 I noticed that the Spindle arm on my front axle is a lot beefier than the one on his D-44, I assume that mine is also a D-44, any thoughts as to the Difference there?

(The arm pointed out by the arrow... Tow Hooks, sooo hot... Though that Worklight is a little Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot....)

(vs the one in this pic.)
