Default Is my Jeep slightly lifted?

Hey all, just picked up this 2012 JK Sport. It’s has Rough Country N3 shocks and grey powder coated springs that look like those on RCs site. The rear is 100% stock. I called rough country and they said they have never sold a front only spring and shock kit, and it seems weird to me that only the front would have been installed. They did tell me that if it was their 2.5” kit that it would be 22 3/4” from center of wheel hub to stock fender. I measured and it’s either 22” to the inner edge of the fender or 22 1/2” to the outside edge. From the spring perch on the axle to the outside edge of the spring pocket on the frame is 11”. To me it looks a little higher in front than other stock Jeeps. Do you think it has the RC 2.5” kit on the front only?

Link below, but maybe someone put on a saggy 2.5" kit to pick the nose up a little. Let's hope they weren't shooting for the ole Carolina squat.

Thanks for the link, I’m going to check it when I get home.

seems wild that there is a 1.5” acceptable +/-variation on a 3.66” dimension.

i don’t mind a little Cali lean on my truck, the Carolina squat is awful.

just want to figure out a baseline before we start modding this.
