What flipkit and spindles do I have?

Just cleaning out my garage and trying to figure out what I have. Heres a pic of the flip kit. How can I tell what spindles I have? Once I get the spindles dug out I will post a pic.

The previous owner said these are all belltech, but hes not known to be a very honest person. I just dont want to use cheap no-name parts.

Anyone have a measurement on a stock spindle?

To be honest, it all looks like junk to me. Suspension is the one thing I wouldnt want to be cheaping out on by install unknown used parts. Too much to risk if something breaks.

GMT 400 is stamped on the spindles. I hope that doesn't mean they're stock. I looked up pictures of stock spindles and the part that the rotor slides on(don't know the proper name) looks to be higher up on mine.

As for the flip kit and frame notches, I cleaned them up with a wire wheel and they are in pretty good shape. Mostly just surface rust, the frame on my truck looks worse than those parts.

The flip kit is belltech, found a stamp on the brackets.
I've been looking up pictures and the spindles aren't stock, just don't know how to tell what brand they are.
