Default Does this jeep have a lift?

Im looking at buying this jeep, it has 33's, and bushwacker fender flares. Im trying to decide looking at the pictures if it has a lift or not...I cant tell if the fenders give more clearance or if its lifted. It has 49000 KMS on it, so its low miles. Im worried if its not lifted and aligned properly I might run into some death wobble issues... Going to go drive it in a few days, and if its all good buy it.

Hard to tell without a picture of the suspension. It does appear to have some lift. Get a picture of the coil area, etc.

Also, see if the seller still has the stock fenders. Pocket flares just aren't right...

I would say its lifted as well. I think I can see the shocks in the front which are not the stock shocks. But a better picture would definitely help to confirm.

Thanks guys, I figured it looked lifted, ill see if they can get some better pictures. I know, I hate the pocket flares, will be changing those out ASAP, likely to the flat flares...I hope the mods made are compatible with the other flares, will have to check the website...

I would say no doubt it's lifted. Them flares drop quite a bit, imagine if they were flat flares. Them 33's would look super tiny. Roller skate look. So I'd say it's def lifted. First thing I'd do is rip them crappy ugly flares off and get flats.

Looks like there is at least a leveling kit on it.
