Okay, it looks like the rear springs have about 12.5" from the axle to the flat underside of the spring perch on the frame. On the front, it looks like 13.25" from the spring perch on the frame to
the bottom of the spring on the axle.

This is generally considered a 5" lift, though it's probably settled due to added weight, time, and whatnot.

If your going with jks discos buy the set for up to 6" of lift and adjust them for the right sway bar angle and you'll be fine

I'm probably going to go this route, i saw that they have 2.5"-6" one which should be perfect.

I'm not sure exactly which height i will leave it on but it will give me options... right now i'm driving without any sway bars at all becasue the jeep still had the stock ones with this lift and it was driving really harsh... not that the pro comp shocks help with that... lol i need new shocks...
