It looks like 4" to me. You can tell 6" lift from a mile away. Once you get over 4" you can see thru between the wheel wells and frame, at least you could on my old truck that had 6" suspension and 3" body pucks.

My guess would be the 6" front and 3 1/2" rear. Takes the rake out but really only looks like a 4". Had pro comp on my 06 super crew, sat just like yours with 35's on 18's. Measure the front crossmember offset, compare it to the specs on the procomp site. That might help you out

front crossmember offset? like from the bolt on the drop down bracket where the lower control now connects to, to where the bolt use to connect the lower drop down bracket?

There ya go. IIRC pro comp used to market as a 4". Are your blocks in the rear 3 1/2"?

Also if you still have doubts, just call pro comp, or a dealer for, they ought to have the answer.

Bit of a rare truck you have there, supercab FX4 with the 5.6 foot bed, can't say I've ever seen more than 2 in real life, anyways it looks great!
