Short Bed 4x4 Stock vs 4" lift

Does anyone have a picture of a stock height and a basic 4" lift. It has been so many years since I worked on one of these I can not tell if mine is lifted or not. I have been looking at picts in Google for hours and I think the 4" lift is higher then I want to go. I thought these trucks sat lower then it seems.

I will try to find a picture of the height I want mine and maybe you all can tell what it.

I don't want 35's. I think 33's will work well.

This is mine and I think it is stock. It has about a 2" block in the rear and flat front springs.


This is the height I want it:

I am thinking yours is about stock height...especially if your front springs are flat. There is a thread on here pretty recently with trucks with 2" of lift, which appears to be what you are after.

Thanks... I think 2" is about right. 4" with 35's is taller then I want. Thinking about getting the 3" ez ride lift. Good price and will replace worn out parts.
