Default LIFT how I know...

Just bought my jeep guy said it was 5 inch lift but did not know what kind. How can I tell what inch and what kind of lift and who made it and what not. There are 34' tires on it and they rub to far how could I adjust that.

If they are silver then they may be RE.

Stock ride height is 17 inches from center of axle to fender flares in the front and 17.5 in the rear. To figure out lift, measure from center of axle to fender flares, subtract 17 or 17.5 depending on front or rear and thats your lift.

Yeah do what he said. ^ By looking at your pictures, it looks like 5" may be right.
