A few pictures of the suspension should make it easy enough for one of us to tell.
I mean it looks stock from what I can tell but I don't know much about suspension. Front driver side Front driver side Front driver side Read driver side Read passenger side
That looks totally stock to me..... No coil spring spacers in the rear and everything up front looks original. H2's are pretty tall to begin with. Most came from the factory with side step bars which do make getting in/out easier and also helps keep you from wearing out the side bolster on the seats when getting in and out. There were also some optional U steps but these days a well used set of four of those will set you back over a grand. You can get the side nerf bars steps for a couple hundred. Not having those on it also helps to make it look taller.
You can also find stock wheels on Craigslist pretty regular. Even better if you want stock is you can often also find the spares which will be a brand new wheel with a likely still brand new tire on it. Just will want to check the tire close for dry rot due to the age of it. There were a few styles of the wheels as well. Some were full satin and some were identical but polished chrome. There were also a couple of limited edition wheels and a couple of the late models had 20" wheels. Most came with the 17" ones. I found a set of near perfect chrome ones for mine - I think I paid $400 for them.

Okay cool, I think you're right I just need to put some steps on the side and it will feel a lot better. It has some skid bars instead of steps so I might go talk to a local welder and see if it's cost effective to weld some steps to it since I like that nerf bar look.
I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with the wheels, they just need to be refinished. When I went aftermarket on my wheels I kept the 17" size. Keeps a world of options open for tires and typically reduces their price as well compared to larger set ups.

17's sure ride nicer. I put 20's and like how it updates the truck but made the ride alot stiffer.
I will either go with 18's and 35's next or keep my 20's and go to a 37.
