Default rough contry help

I bought a 96 xj with a lift on it but the dealer I bought it from couldnt tell me how much it is though. So nI called rough country and gave them the 6 digit part number off the shock and they said it is a 4.4 kit. But I got to looking at there website and there kit comes with swaybar links and rear shackles, which mine has the stock swaybar links and the stock really short shackles on the leaf springs. So my question is did this kit ever come without some of these parts? and if any of you guys with a 4.5 rough country kit if you could look at that 6 digit number on the bottom of the shock and let me know.

so I measured at the frame rails in the front right behind the lower control arms is at 16.5 in and the back right in front of the leafspring mount is 17 1/4 in. is this sound right for a 4.5 lift?
