Can someone help me figure out what lift I have?

It was on my 1988 Supercab 2.9L that I had 8 years ago. The coils are 18.5" long sitting there and the rear was full leaf springs.

Looks just like my skyjacker kit on my 97, 4 or 6...does the drop brakets for the beams have 2 holes?
 
Yep old SJ from what I can tell...they haven't ever changed the design of the drivers side drop bracket (passenger side beam), or that's how it seems.
 
Thats awsome if it is a SJ lift after all these years.

But is there anyway it could be a Superlift?

Cuz if I remember correctly there was a Superlift sticker in the glove box when I bought it.
 
I just read that the overload on the SJ leafs likes to slide out some and mine was so yeah it's probably is SJ.

Does anyone know the length of a 4" and 6" coil unloaded. Cuz mine was in the 6" holes but my tires where tipped in and I couldn't fit 31-12.50-15 Thornbirds on 15-10 rims without cutting the bottom of my fenders?
 
My guess also is Skyjacker Class 1 kit (circa mid-late '90s). At least that cast bracket for the passengerside beam 100% for sure is SJ. The rest of it is pretty generic however (similar to most others). The pitman arm sitting atop the axle looks like it might be Superlift though.

SJ 6" lift coils should be 19" free length (maybe they've sagged a little? though that would be a rarity in SJ springs).
 
Well according to Bronco Graveyard the Superlift/BDS 6"ers are 20" free and there 4" are 17.75.
