The rear should be easy to tell if you look at the axle and springs. If axle under springs prolly 4” if on top 5-7”. Also if has c- notch. Front sometimes harder to tell as many more ways to do it, cheap or more parts. General drops are 2-4, 3-5,7. Might be missing some.

Looks like a 4/6. Needs to be lower to match those tiny tires. I used that size when my truck was on a 5.5/8 drop

i agree! 2/4 drop

thats a 22" tire still a lot of gap between the tire and fender lip

mines like 4.5/6.5 drop 255/45/20's and the back you can see tires much closer to the fender lips

On a stock engine it wouldn't make much difference for the primary size. It may change the power curve a little but you'd never notice in the butt dyno.

Pick what you want for running a y-pipe or full true duals with a H/X pipe. It's all a preference for sound and what you want to pay.
