I'm guessing, of course, but since it is on 33's with stock fenders I'm going to say at least 3.5, probably 4.

4.5"-5.5". Just my guess. You could measure center of wheel to flare or axle tube to uniframe rail. I don't remember what stock is but search this site and it will tell you or somebody on here will chime in with stock measurements.

You can run 31's on a stock XJ, but that is certainly more than 2 inches of lift so when you got it, there was lift there.

Did you add lift blocks? If you did then I'm going to say it probably had 3-3.5in kit on it and you added another two.

looks like 5.5 or 6 inch lift to me. It would probably be less if the fenders were trimmed. but with stock fenders and that much clearance on 33s definitely at least 5.5inches.
