OLD THREAD ALERT!

I (finally) took some decent pictures of my spindles. From what I can figure out, these are not stock 2WD spindles, which is gonna suck if they aren't....

Looks like you have after market spindles in the front and lift blocks in the rear.

The rears I kinda knew, which will be easy to do, but the front spindles will be a bi**h!!

you can see it in the fourth pic, its a rubber block to the left of the spring, you have some clearance, which is from the spindles

Seeing that you have fabtech shocks and no dust cover for the front disc's.I would say you have a 2wd lift.Like said before 33's won't fit a 2wd.Spindles are not hard to change,you just need to find a stock pair.

Got a side view pic of the entire truck. I would like to see how the lift looks on there.

It had 33's on it when I got it- Got rid of them the first week.
I know a member here is selling some 2WD spindles. I'll find the link and PM him. This ain't gonna be fun...

A couple pics. It doesn't look bad. I've got 18" rims with a 30" tire, but I want it lower, not too mention, the ride is terrible, to me.

You have at least a 3" spindle lift in the front. Looks like only the 3/1.5" kit from fabtech, but that kit usually won't let you clear 33s without some pretty good cutting.
