well how much lift was it... a couple inches up front with a shackle would keep the ride nice and smooth.. and 1 ton springs in the rear... that wouldnt make much of a lift... are you sure this is the situation??
if its all true yes its offroad capable, rear wont flex well, front will. for mud its fine.

the only way one ton springs will fit in the rear is if they guy moved the shackle hangar back a few inches. 1 ton springs are 56'' and half ton springs are 52''. the big shackles up front will make it ride like crap since the shackle wont move. it also gives you a crappy pinion angle. look at the other parts of the truck as long as it doesnt look abused the lift can be easily fixed with quality parts like a ord or sky flip kit and some tuff country lift springs.

if they are 1 ton springs they and the hangar in the stock place for 52'' springs it will look like this. http://www.austink5.net/phpBB/modul...ame=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php
