Honestly im not sure, I think they are cragers cause of the blue and red stripe but then again im not positive. They dont stick out past the flares much, id say 4 or 3.75.

Gotta take your time If you put door trim around it it looks really nice. That's what I did my first time. But I've cut them higher since then so I just don't worry about it

It's really not as big a deal as it seems. Worst case scenario you can bolt on new front fenders and unfold the rear and put new flares on it. Just be careful not to cut too far on the rear or you're gonna have to bust out a welder.

If you wanted to cut more than an inch off the rear could you just weld it back together?
