On this forum you have to be able to take a poke in the ribs for a boo boo, don't take it badly.
Ride hight, standard would be some 23/24 inches from the ground to base of door [ not skirt or step] 24inch likely on your tires. 2 inch or greater then may be lifted.

Standard springs can vary a bit, and may 'sink' over the course of their lifetime. I put some new ones on mine and it sat considerably higher. So much so that I went and got the boxes out of the bin to check if the shop had given me +2s by mistake. I've just got used to it now, or maybe it's sinking. So it's hard to tell from the picture. There's a fair bit of room under Land Rover wheel arches so a variety of sizes are possible with standard suspension. The 265 70 R17s mentioned are within a millimeter or so of my 265 75 R16s (in diameter) so will look about right.
Of course it is friendly, most of the time!
Bit of humour can relieve the boredom of the day.

Here are the std spring colours and part numbers. It does look like your tratter is sitting lower at the back. To be absolutely certain change springs for correct colour/length and be done. Don't be tempted to go for HD springs, you'll just be bouncing around especially at the rear.
