First one looks like stock height.

Second one looks like 2 in the rear and either 2 or 3 in the front. It looks like the same height my truck is sittin at.

first one is stock height, probably looks lowered because of the tighter fitting wheel wells-it is a 1967-'72 style truck, not a square-body

It's dependent on the size of the tires. Proper way to measure is center of spindle to bottom of fender. Looks like 2/2 or 2/3ish

235/75/15 Wranglers On the Front

29x12.5x15 Hoosiers on the Rear

I'm gonna ditch the rear wheels when the tread runs out and get 8's on the rear cuz tires for 10 wide inch rims are too expensive for me.
Just rockin em cuz I got a good deal on them.
