I think the lifts on the market are pretty standard, 4 and 6 inch for the suspension. Body lifts can be any size.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say you have a 4 inch.

Let us know what size tires you have and post a pic if you can and maybe we can tell by looking at it.

Well i know that rancho offers a 3" kit for broncos, and rancho is the only company ive seen that has it. They sell a 4" too, the only differance is the 3" lifts it 3" front and rear, and the 4" lifts it 4" in the front and 3" in the rear so the 4" would just level the truck. Does your truck sit level or is the front end a little lower then the front?

A quick way to tell how much lift you have is to measure the height of the front coil springs. Stock is 12", so a 4" lift kit will have 16" tall coils. About the only way I've been able to tell the brand of kit is by the shocks. Most often, the kit comes with the same brand, such as rancho or Rough Country. JSM84

I second JSM word for word.

Measure the coils, and also look for blocks or add a leafs in the back... but you may have new springs..

A pic would be a big help

Here are some Pics hope this helps. Tires are 33/12.50/15

Also take a look at the front bumper what would cause it to bend down like it is on the ends. Is it my bumper brackets?

Well the front bumper may have been smacked at one point and replaced.

I don't know but I'd say that looks like a 4" too me

Do you think I could get 35s under it or will they rub?

I run 35's on my 4" lift. and I dont rub at all.

They do rub when I go wheeling though, the flex is very limited....
