Default Stock or not?

I'll admit I'm new to jeeps, I haven't owned a Cherokee before. Before I start lifting was wondering if it looks like the suspension is stock. I cant tell if it's lifted.

I've lifted Rangers and full size Chevy's but this is my first Cherokee.

It looks as if it may have a 1 or 2 inch lift on it for leveling purposes. Mine is stock and I don't have that much clearance at the fender wells.

It does not apear to be lifted at all... Your tire size might give the apearance of a budget boost but I doubt it.

crawl down and look at your springs, if there is not a spacer on the top of the spring then I doubt you have any sort of lift. Second just glance at your rear shackles see if they look after market.

Sounds like people are as conflicted as I am, I'll check what ya'll said to. I'm planning on doing a bastard pack with s10 springs, and maybe picking up a shackle off of a full size Chevy, and full size ford springs in the front. I'm not concerned about riding rough. Just wanted to know what to expect for additional clearance over what I have now.
