Default how big?

I know alot of people ask this Q. but I don't have a tape at my house to check for myself. so when I got this cherokee he said it was rubicon 5.5 lift with long arms. I know it has long arms because they are easy to spot heh. but I was just wonder does this look like a 5.5 inch lift? its on 33's btw. sorry for the muddy pics its the only one that really shows the front end. I'll try and take some better ones later

Measure from the center of the rim to the bottom of the fender flairs.. Stock front 17.5" rear 17". Just subtract that from the measurements and you will know roughly how much lift you have if the flairs are stock and not cut.
