Default Rancho quicklift struts and 9000xl shocks... Am i missing something?

ok so my truck has a strut spacer right now on what I believe to be original struts and shocks at 109,000 miles. The front is still 1.75" lower than the rear. The rear block is oem height I believe and cannot spot any rear lift. There was a front hitch on the truck when I bought it. Possibly for a plow??? Anyway is it possible the front is sagging that much. I believe it is time for new struts and shocks anyway. I really like this rancho setup. Supposedly the lifted struts are better for the truck than spacers. Any opinions on these or other struts?

Disregard. Pictures uploaded same time as my post. That truck sits really tall for factory blocks in the rear.

Your truck sits taller in the rear because you have an AAL (add a leaf). you have five leaves in that pack. 04-05 trucks have 4 leaves and 06-08 have 3.

It's not squatting in the front, you're just taller in the rear than stock due to the AAL.

Thanks! Sorry I didn't specify I was looking for info on the stock number of spring for conformation. I understand what an aal is but nice article
