Default What lift kit is this?

So I picked up this 98 XJ which already had the lift on it. I have no idea who makes it or what size lift it is. It's sitting on 33x12.5x15 BFG A/T KO's and the front fenders have been trimmed a little. I measured from the center of the hub to the bottom of the flare and it was just shy of 24" but I know that is off because of the trimmed fenders. And yes, cleaning up the undercarriage is on my to do list. Haha. Thanks everyone.

Looks like a conglomerate of shtuf. better pictures would help. But mostly just do your research and you will figure it out. Looks like out back a set of daystar or warrior products 1" lift shackles maybe and add a leaf and a lift block. Up front I can see an aftermarket control arm and a double shear track bar and thats a big coil spacer. There are some good pieces but also quite a bit of hackery. Keep the good and toss the bad but I would go over it pretty good theres some creepy looking stuff under there.

You're probably around 3-3.5 of lift. Looks like a budget build of misc parts. The front looks like a 3" cool spacer

Its 3 or 4 inches probably,As far as brand its a mix match or random parts and kinda done super cheaply.I see a super thick spacer is the front lift blocks in the rear and a t case drop kit.And someone took off the front swaybar it looks like.

Thanks for the help folks. I'll most likely ditch it all and go with a 4.5" long arm kit sometime this summer. I'm quickly learning to embrace the Just Empty Every Pocket lifestyle. Once I get the few rust spots underneath fixed, I address the lift, then gears and lockers. And if I have money left for gas, I"ll finally get to enjoy it.
