Is my truck stock, lowered, or just tired?

So I've had this truck for a few years. Had it shelved for a couple but just recently got the bug again. It's too cool to just let it sit! Just did a power steering conversion and it's so unbelievable to drive now, I can't even explain. Now I'm thinking I need to get it's "attitude" correct. Looking at it from the side, it appears to have a slight rake. Does this look stock? I know my cab support bushings are needing replacement but to me it looks low in the front. Id almost be happy just lowering the rear to level with front. What say you guys?

Is there sheet metal below the driver side door?
Suspension looks stock to me. Find the LMC online catalog they have a lowering guide.

Previous owner attempted a rocker replacement. Not a great job by the way, but it’s there, just painted black. Looks like it’s missing.

I think you're right. I think my next order of business will be new cab mounts first, see if that lines up the body and cab lines. Then I'm gonna drop the rear 4" since that seems to be the max I can go without cutting or notching anything. Then I'll match the front to get it level if it's not.
