New (to me 2009 JKU)
Just got my new 2009 JKU and I see it has Rough Country shocks under it. Can't tell if it is lifted or not, but that's where I need you. How high should the jeep be from the ground stock? How can I tell easily if it is lifted? It still has stock tires and wheels but it looks tall (maybe I'm just not used to the JK yet)
Thanks

Future builds would include a Teraflex 3" and 35's and bumpers, but for now the wallet is hidden (by my wife)

If they're the silver RC shocks with "Performance 2.2" on them there's a good chance it's a 2.5 budget boost. You should have a rather sizeable wheel gap. You could look around and see if you have any of the blue parts highlighted in their illustrations off their site.

Welcome to the Club
These are the actual spacers used in the R/C 2-1/2" BB.
The fronts are 2-1/2" tall and the rears are 2" tall.
The rears have the center tube sticking out and are bolted through.

You could go to the nearest Jeep dealer and take some measurements there.
