First check the height from centre of wheel to lip of guard F&R, and post the measurements, maybe someone will be able to tell you.

Are the coil springs black or painted another colour (yellow, blue, etc.), if they are black it's a good chance they are stock.

In conclusion; from center of wheel hub to bottom of your flare/guard.
Stock:
Front 520mm - Rear 525mm

2inch Lift
Front 560mm - Rear 570mm

4inch Lift
Front 645mm - Rear 670mm

6inch Lift
