Default stupid question

ok ive got a 2000 xj sport on 31x10.50. i do not know what lift i have on it because i just revently purchased it from a friend who passed, ive got plenty of clearance and no rubbing when fully turned. its almost time for some new tires and i was wondering if i could fit 33x10.50 what i was really wondering if there is any way i could find out what lift is on it already just by looking or measuring body height or anything else.

sorry for the n00b questions lol just not used to the xj used to have a yj

i measured from top of axel tube to frame above it. rear was close to 11 inches and front was about 10.5 inches, im guessin i have a 4.5 inch lift. i wanna try for the 33x1050

maybe coil spring spacers in the front and shackles in the rear just to fit? anybody done it?

Check for SYE before worrying about going any higher. And make sure the steering was done correctly.
