Long story short, apparently I have an "aftermarket 2" to 2 1/2" lift. Took some pics for reference. I went and toon a look and There looks to be a 2.25" (Ima call it a 2" spacer) on the top of the coil spring. The, what I'm gona call, the lower bump stop spacer, looks to be like a silver (billet maybe?). Is this bump stop spacer factory or did it likely come from the "lift" that was apparently put on before I bought it? Also, how long are the factory stabilizer bar end links? Mine look to be about 10"'s or so. Haven't got under the back yet to check for the same but I'll follow up with the same Q&A later. Anyway, looking g to know what I have now, so when I make some changed I know what I have, what I need and how I can make changes in a smart way rather than replacing things that might already be there...

You sir, may be correct. But I duno, haha. That does look like the parts I see and you just might be right. ReadyLift is a brand that is easily sourced locally (going off my previous life proor to my first JEEP here though). I need to go look at the back to now to see if they only did the front for a shot at leveling or not. Maybe take some fender to ground and/or tire to fender measurements.
Any thoughts on the stab bar link length vs factory length?
OR better yet, anyone able to post a pic of a factory suspension set up similar to what I posted for reference/comparison?

New to the scene here. Never owned a JEEP so sorry for my ignorance in advance. Thanks for the quick replies though. Much appreciated. Just ran out for some rear pics... When I bought the thing, I assumed it was stock. Didn't look lifted to me, but again not a seasoned JEEP vet much less versed I. The Gladiator scene. So pics in the back look like it has a spacer (let me know if I'm wrong here please) and maybe a bump stop spacer on the back too? (Again let me know if that's stock and I'm wrong here please)....

And again firing up the laptop...wait for it.... damn site and phone don't work well does it?...

Oops editted the wrong post (previous one) so pics are posted twice of the rear. But there they is... Looks like there may be a spacer and bump stop extension (let me know if I'm wrong here...) BUT... No shock extension on the back... Just looking for confirmation of what Im looking at and the orginal questions too of course...

I take my dogs out of town everyday and at a spot where I turn around I drive in to the ditch while cranking to the right, then left, slowly. Usually going super slow at that point but sometimes hear/feel a slight knock so the factory shock possibly might make sense when at that articulation point might make sense IF its the stock shock(it is from what I can tell) without an extension at the mount point....?

You sir, look to be right on the money, judging by the looks anyway. I'm thinking after getting underneath it that it does look to be that ReadyLift kit. Front Stab bar links, front shock extensions, front & rear lower bump stop spacers, front /rear coil spacers. Although the photo there makes my unit look weak AF. Put the factory wheel/tires back on for the summer again til they wear out but even with the Aftermarket wheels I bought (Raceline 0 offset) with my 285 70 17 BFG AT/KO's (E range, yes until I replace with 35's)...
WOW, these things are actually lower stock than what I've got. LMAO. I assumed mine was srtock when I bought it and it doesn't look super huge to me with the factory wheels/tires it the AM wheels tires I put on it. Now to look in to the best way to go about replcing the Drag link since they F%&^$ng me out of the extended warranty it came with because of the "LIFT" it has (that I wasn't aware of when I bought it). So far looking like I'll end up with the Terraflex and maybe some Mopar LCA's...

Non-stock items; coil spacers front and rear, bump stop extensions front and rear, front shock extensions, front sway bar end links.

You don't show rear shocks or rear sway bar end links to know what is there.

Well this is what I got. Yup looks like no shock extension in the back and stock shocks... Let me know know the rear stab links. Not sure there. And whatever else, like i said new to the scene here. Think I might have an idea of what I'm looking at, but no pro here for sure.
