Help identifying lift
 
Hello. This is my first post. I recently purchased a '93 XLT 4X4, 5spd with the 5.0. The truck is lifted quite a bit (maybe 4-6", but I don't know for sure). There are some Superlift Superride shocks up front, but I can't tell if everything else is stock. The rear has a whole bunch of ad-leafs + blocks. There are 9 total springs per pack.

The tires are only 31" and I think the whole set-up looks kind of silly with all that space between the tires and wheel wells.

I don't much about suspensions, and I know even less about lift kits, so I'm hoping someone can help tell me what exactly I got going on down there. I can't upload pics to my posts yet, but there are some good shots in my album. I'll add some pics of the suspension as soon as I'm allowed.

Thanks!

Hey all. Here are some shots of the front and rear suspension on the '93. I really don't know what I'm looking at besides some aftermarket shocks up front, and a bunch of leaf springs out back.

Is there a way to lower this beast from it's current height (which I'm not exactly sure of) to maybe something like 2-3"? In the rear, I was thinking I could remove the rear blocks, but leave the leafs as-is if that's feasible. I'm not sure what to do about the front because I don't know what is actually affecting the lift. Is it just those big shocks and springs? Or is there something else I'm not seeing?

If removing/reducing the current lift is something that would be too expensive or time consuming then my Plan B is bigger tires. As mentioned in the original post, I think it looks silly with the 31's.

Anyway, I'd be very appreciative of any help you guys can offer. Thanks!
