Default Suspension??

I bought my 08 jk new and one option was a 2 inch lift, it's a basic wrangler x, but not even the dealer can tell me how it was lifted, it sits up high like a rubicon but it doesn't have any if the rubicon add ons, dies anyone have any idea on how I can tell how it was lifted? I want to lift it a little more but I need to know what's already been done..

Mine came stock with the 255/75r/17s. Ill post a pic of the spring as soon as I figure out how. Lol. There is nothing on top of the front spring

I was thinking of just going with 3 inch spacers, but I've never used them everything I've ever lifted had leaf springs, how well do the spacers work?
