I see the pics but they are just pics of shocks? That doesn't tell me if its lifted, if the suspension is stock any parts store links will work.

Well double stacked blocks in the rear means its a lifted but done cheaply and poorly. (Not trying to insult you or your truck, double stacking blocks is just a no-no).

The blocks look 3-4" so id asume the front is done the same way, however if its chewing up tires in the front is probably done with coil spacers or cranking the torsion bars and not a proper spindle or crossmember drop.

Chances are you wont be able to align it. Factory parts just dont have that much adjustment. Id wanna look more into the lift and seriously consider removing it.

Lead follow or get out of my way
They didn't make a bunch of different height lifts for the torsion bar suspension. I want to say it's probably a 4 inch lift.

Examine the brackets that drop the lower arms and axle. Then start looking on the internet until you find the kit that looks like yours.

You can also measure your shocks at full extend... compare that to stock length shocks. The difference is roughly the lift valve.
