1. How can I tell how the front was lowered by the previous owner? Is there a way i can tell if the spindles are drop spindles? From looking at the springs, they were either cut or they are aftermarket lowering springs, they aren't all bunched up like they were heated up.

2. I picked up a pretty decent sport bumper with the brackets from the suburban I got it form, what brackets can i use to mount it to the truck?

I will have some pics tonight of it on hopefully.

If it has drop spindles, the Lower Control Arm (LCA) will be very close the wheel if you have 15" wheels.

Two of the four brackets on the pickup sport bumper are unique to the pickup. The other two, AFAIK, are the same as the Suburban.
