Default Lowered truck, how do i reverse it?

So, one of the previous owners lowerd the truck i recently bought.
Front wise they probably just cut the coils so i'll just replace them with stock height coils.
But how do you usually lower the rear? Never dealt with leaf-type springs

should have been done with the rear shackles and/or the front spring hangers. if not the axle has been flipped. Is the axle mounted below the leaf's or above?

hopefully they didnt heat them, if they cut the fronts, they may have heated the rear. Look for a flip kit, on it.

Had a look, rear shackles are new compared to the otherwise rusty parts so i guess thats how they did it. Leaves are above the axle.
