What type of suspension is this?

Previous owner swapped out air springs with this, anyone know what brand or part this is?

Thinking about getting bigger tires but want to learn a little more about what’s on there.

Based on corrosion, that's probably 1 year of use in the northeast. The coating TF uses is extremely cheap and doesn't last. But, you get what you pay for with TF.

Can you tell by looking at the tower if this is lifted? Any idea what size tires this can take from a glance?

You can tell by the spring color that it's lifted, likely 2" or so. I have a thread on here with measurements. Think it's called Share your Measurements

If that's the front, there never were air shocks there. They just replaced the stock shock mount towers with the TerraFirma units, probably because the originals were rusted out.
