How Many Leafs Should I Have?

[bingo]

Hey guys,

 

I recently bought a Te27 and the car looks to be lowered about 2 inches (the top of the wheel just sits under the flare) but the guy I bought it off bought it offer some other guy etc and there's no accurate information as to how it was lowered.

 

Who ever lowered it didn't use blocks (see pic) so I'm thinking either a leaf was removed (hence my question), the leafs were reset, leafs were inverted, or the leafs just got soft over time (is this possible?).

 

There are 3 leafs currently - is this 'factory'?

 

Also, for those running lower rear leaf suspension set ups, what rear shocks would you recommend for street use/stance for about 2" lower?

 

Cheers
