Two sets of coil spacers doesn't seem like a great idea to me.

looks like 6 up front and 5 in the rear.

I own this same model with a 4.5" and i couldn't imagine 35's..

so it may very well be 7-8"

looks good

Im guessing 5-6 inches. I'm sitting with almost 4" lift and can fit 34s under my ZJ. Stock height is 18.5" from center of hub to bottom lip of fender in the front and 19" in the rear. Unless of course it had the factory Up Country package then it would be 19.5 and 20" respectively. The ARB looks like it needs to be re bolted or its been tugged on too hard. I'd look into that. Can clearly see it in the pic

its prob got about 6-7, heres mine with 7 1/2- 8ish inches

If its on short arms it could be scary to drive lifted that high, looks like it is from your pics, if you get it a long arm conversion should be the first thing on your list of to do's
