Hi

need to change my shocks and springs. Neither of the current have markings and appear to be black originally.

how do I tell if it is lifted? What reference measurements do I need to take and where do I find the numbers to compare it to
Thanks

Surely if you are changing them it doesn’t matter. If you want a lift, buy a lift kit. If you don’t. Then buy standard stuff.

What is your intended use for the vehicle? Mainly on road or will it be used off road too?

Pics of the items would help.
Here's mine on 750 16s and have no idea where it is in height terms.

although if I want to keep it as is then it’s useful to know what it currently is.

I use it to drive on road and then round the woods I shoot at. Which are muddy.

but I’m no green laner

That looks like standard to me.
Basic shocker at least.
Height looks good as well.

Just put standard height on. Looks like the arches are not standard on yours anyway. So difficult to tell visually if it is lifted or not.

They look small for 7.50’s. Could they be 205’s? A good 7.50 should be about 31” tall.

This combi was the smaller one.
I think it is the big gap that makes the 750s look smaller.
31 1/2 " tall give or take a 1/2" or so.
