Default Lift????

Hi all, purchased a used '07 rubicon ( only had a little over 34K on it), and the previous owner had it lifted, I have no idea how high or what type/brand kit was used. Is there any method for determining how big a lift kit was put on?

ID'ing the components is a good start as long as it isn't a frankenlift. Springs/spacers, trackbar bracket, shocks, control arms; are good places to start. Post pics and somebody will have the answer.

Here's a diagram that might help you determine how much lift you have. Hope it helps!
