Default Body lift question

Bought a used 07 unlimited. "Suposively" has a 3" lift. No doubt in my mind that it's lifted but I was wondering about putting on a body lift. Anyone have any pics of stock body mounts cause to me mine looks like it already has 1" pucks in it. Not sure tho.

Go to the website for any mfg that sells a body lift and look at the install sheet. I know Rough Country body lifts have a link to the install with pics of all of the steps, including pics of the stock body mounts.

But you may be able to tell just from the gap between the bumpers and body.

Post up a pic of where the front bumper and grill meet, and the rear bumper and tailgate meet. Should be able to tell if there's a BL or not. If it has coil springs, I'd throw some spacers in there vs a body lift, but that just me. Body lift won't do you any good offroad. And if your tires aren't rubbing, certainly no reason to go body lift. Just my two cents
