How can I tell what lift I have to know what I can add?
I just bought a 96, it was from auction and the owner did not know the details, he said it's a 4" lift and it had a Rouch Country decal on it. Any way to figure what I actually have to know where to go from here?
Those are 31s.
Looks like Springs and Add a Leaf
Any guesses?

Does it have new lower control arms? And what kind of lift is in the rear..blocks, aal, shackle?? And where do you want to go with it?? Cuz higher your gonna need to replace pretty much all of it anyway.

Measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the flare. Stock is 17.5" i think. If you ask me then I'd say 3" lift at most.

the lower control arms are stock, the tires are 31s... it's a 3" lift
if it was a 4" rough country it would have new lower control arms...

Yes lowers are stock, Can I add 2" spacers to these coils? Will I just need longer brake lines? Rear is just bastard pack, I want to do some 2" shackles.

Yep and if you do 2" spacers and shackles you will need lower control arms trac bar brake lines and prob new shocks and if it doesn't have extended sway bar or quick disconnects you might need those too
