Default New to me JK! Is it lifted?

Hi all. I recently purchased a 2007 2 door JK. Mostly stock.



The build sheet indicates that it has the heavy duty suspension with gas shocks. The springs have tags on them that seem to indicate the suspension coils are still stock jeep.

Front spring tag.

The jeep currently wears 285/70/17 tires and measures exactly 38"s from floor to bottom of fender. This jeep sits noticably higher than other stock JK's I have seen around so I am wondering if maybe this JK has a BB lift installed?

The rear looks to have some kind of an aftermarket bumpstop extension installed.

Is this a BB spacer?


Front spring.


I sure appreciate any help in determining if this JK has any lift or if the suspension is indeed all stock. I have no way to contact the previous owner to find out.

Thanks!

Looks like a 2" BB. Plus added bump stops.

x2. Looks like coil spacers added between your coils. They are the plastic "puck" looking spacers at the tops of the coils

You could tell just by looking at your swaybar angle and tell the OE angle is off indicating a lift.

I agree. Looks like a typical budget boost.
