Help Figure Out Leveling Kit?

Hey guys.... I'm new to the forum (posted in the intro area) and just got myself a 2001 F250. The guy I bought the truck from didn't really seem to know much about the specifics of the truck (the "stock exhaust" turned out to be a Gale Banks exhaust).

Anyways.... I believe my truck has a leveling kit on it. The truck has 315's on it and it sits level.

Now I'm hoping someone can help me figure out which leveling kit was installed on my truck (if any)? Let me know what I should be looking for, or what pictures I should be taking to show you guys?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

take a shot of the shackle and hanger on the front springs, and also the perch that the spring sits on (on the axle). You should be able to tell from there if anything has been changed.

looks like a 3.5" hanger lift to me. Do you have two blocks under the rear or 1? How tall is the block?

That's a Rize (I think) 3.5" lift. It comes with the front hangers, and a block that's 1.5" taller than stock for the rear to level it out. Good Find on the truck.

Should the front leaves look that way? Lika rainbow instead of a bowl.

almost every 4X4 SD I've seen has looked like that. Mine did before I swapped the springs.

So it's a 3.5" lift then? That's cool... Thanks!!

Taller block in the rear.... But what about the front? Is the front hangar different, and that's it? Or is the rear shackle different from stock too? Sorry about all the questions, I'm just trying to wrap my head around everything. I know old Ford's inside and out... But this newer stuff is fresh for me!
