This is a 2014 wrangler that I’m thinking of buying but it has a lift installed.
Only has 60,000 km, standard

and is clean.
Don’t know if it’s a factory/dealer lift or after market.
Wondering if I should stay away from it as I want a daily driver and not an off road Jeep?
Thanks

I don’t see any branding or part numbers on there. Maybe someone over at the JK forum will know. This is a Jeep Gladiator forum you posted on.

Yep, those shock seals are toast. I'd talk them down and budget new shocks with the correct dimensions.
You'd probably be better off buying a stock truck and doing a high quality lift yourself. Cheap lifts can cause damage.

The shocks look like cheap (and leaky) hydro shocks, probably a cheap lift too

Buy a Gladiator instead.

That JK looks like it was rode hard and put up wet. You also have a right rear axle seal that is blown. Common on JK's and a pain to replace. Hard pass if it was me.

This is the JT forum but springs are bowed , don't see a track bar in the front shocks are leaking , lots of rust covered up with paint or undercoating. I would look elsewhere IMHO
