Help me identify the lift(s) on my TJ

I bought an '03 Rubicon about 1 1/2 years ago. It had 33's on it on some mild lift. The guy I bought it from only had the Jeep for a couple months. He said the original owner had a 2 1/2" lift installed, but he later contradicted himself and said 2 3/4. Anyway, I want to lift the Jeep a little bit more than it is. I am trying to figure out what is currently on the Jeep. I can see what I believe are coil spacers in the front and back that measure 1 3/4" tall. The springs have original mopar stickers on them and the part number indicates that they are original. THe shocks too. Could it be that the Jeep only has 1 3/4" of lift? Is that enough for 33's? I am trying to determine if it has a small body lift. There are rubber disks between where the body sits and the frame. Are these some kind of stock rubber isolation parts or is this a body lift? They are only about 3/4" tall.

Thanks!

probably just a coil spacer, the small rubber pieces you see are prob the stock mounts. I wouldnt recommend a body lift any bigger than 1" b/c you can run into shifter problems. If it were me id trash the coil spacers and go with a complete suspension. There are some reasonable lifts that consist of just shocks coils etc. and can be added to or built up as you go on. Or piecing a lift together of your own with what you want out of your jeep and what you plan on doing like trails/rocks/mall crawler..

but if you choose to do this it pays to save and buy a good quality product than go cheap and pay more later especially with something as important as suspension...found this out the hard way many times...
