You can always add rear airbags to get it perfectly level. Impossible to tell if its body or suspension without seeing underneath

Take pictures of the front underneath and rear underneath showing the suspension on both. Judging by the lack of frame showing, it is all suspension lift.

And list the tire size so we can gauge the gap in the fender. I have had my truck at 6" of lift, 7.5" lift and have it set at 10.5" right now so I have a good visual.

If those are 35" tires, that is bigger than 6".

You can also look on line to see the stock ride height then add the diff in stock tires vs current. Didn’t the PO give you any info? Might be worth a trip to a trusted shop to make sure everything is done right. I’m guessing the front is higher to clear the tires?

Fronts higher for a squatted look, not to fond of it and will lvl it out soon.

On 35's I'd say the front is around 8" +/- .5".
Back is 6". I'd measure to the center of the wheel wells on level ground and add coil spacers or reindex the torsion keys to lower the front a little. More than likely, like someone already said, the keys were indexed to stop the tires from rubbing with the wheel fully turned. I rubbed on 35's with 6" of lift but don't with 7.5".

I definitely rub in the front, I'll have to bring the back up to lvl out
