Default Unknown ride height looking for shocks

Hi everyone!

Gonna start off with I'm sorry if this is posting to the wrong area.

Anyways, I had bought a truck a while back that was lowered by the previous owner. I'm not sure if a kit was used, or how he did it. I don't have a wide knowledge of vehicles/know what to look for. My shocks are at the point of where they need to be replaced.

Here's where my problem comes. I'm not sure how much my truck has been lowered, so am unsure of what shocks to get. I'm hoping maybe some of you may be able to offer some input. My truck is a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS.

Additional information. My tires are 275/45R20. From the center of the front rim to the wheel well it is ~16". And the same on the rear wheel comes to ~17".

I hope this is enough information. And for more experienced people maybe my photo will help.

Thank you for any/all help. Shock suggestion would be appreciated also. If there is another forum you think I'd be better off posting to, please let me know.

I'd just guess at a 2-4 drop, doesnt seem to be a 4/6 drop.

Is the leaf over the axle still or is the leaf now under the axle??
