looks like a two inch to me. The thicker rubber/plastic thing above your coil spring is a coil spacer so you could put another two inch spacer on there but i wouldn't. Those shackles are also lift shackles so you cant lift that way. If you want to go up another 2 inches you could get another set of coil spacers and or new 2 inch coil springs. for the back you will have to get new leaf springs.

Looks like a 2" budget lift with some sagging springs in the rear.

A stock xj measures 17.5" from center hub to flare in front and 17" in the rear.

You might be able to find a set of s-10 leafs at a junkyard for cheap. From what I hear, it has to be a 4x4 model
