How do these Rocky mountains measure up. Will the 305/65/18s really be about 33.6" you think? Money came in this morning but I'm still on the fence now. 305/65/18 or 295/70/18 terras. It's about $30 more per tire for the 295s

Does my jk already have a 1" body lift???? Does it come with factory pucks? I just noticed the rear bumper seems lower. The front however seems flush with the bumper but in see pucks up from as well. Pics below.
