Good eye! There is a 4"x4" 1/4" wall square tubing that is bolted and welded to the frame. The spring perches are welded to it. I originally did this when I first converted it because it was a cheap lift kit. I put stock shackles on it when I removed the lift kit. I'd say right now it has at least 3"-4" of lift still right now. The tires on it are 265's and it looks like 33's will fit without any problem.

Here's a pic of it a while ago when it had the 6.9 in it too.
