Default Is this thing lifted?

I just got a 97 disco and im wondering if it already lifted.i would just measure the rig and see where its at with the sticker on the visor but it dont have stock tires. Im running 235 85 r16 mudders the previous owner has already put on a front and rear bumper and rock sliders on the rig and it still has a great amount of clearence anybody got any ideas of how i could tell if it has a small lift on it already i lucked out hes got more money wrapped up in bumpers and sliders than iv got in the whole rig.
(so far ha ha)

I'm running pizza cutters too, so I can't do it, but if some kind soul with stock tires could measure from the ground to the center of the hub, you could measure your overall height, subtract the distance from the ground to the center of your hub, then add the stock measurement and see how close you are to 77".

Hang tight, let me go to the garage and measure. Bastards taking me away from my drink and the GOP debate

Just go look at the shocks, what color are they, black is factory, white, yellow silver or yellow/blue are after market.
Coil, if they have been replaced usually will have a paper tag on them and or can be yellow, blue shinny black or silver.

I took a peek under the rig and found that it has yellow shocks with blue boots and the springs are black but not to new looking. however with all the other stuff that has been done i think the prev. owner lifted it too proly only like two inchs or so it is just over 20 inchs from the ground to the bottom edged of the front door so around 17 inches to the bottom of the rock sliders.(which work great) did a little fooling around and this rig seem to just keep moving foward no matter what was in front of it. Nothing like the toyota 4runner i had before i got this rig.

if you are runnig 235/85s than more than likely you have a lift. still a pic is worth a thousand words, how can you start a thread like this without a pic. FAIL.
