Okay, stupid chick here so spare me any wisecracks.

My 2002 TJ had a lift kit when purchased. Her control arm bushings are T-Rashed but no one can figure out which lift kit I have. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Not necessarily. I have heard some shocks are installed with silver part up, white part down, and vice versa. I have Pro Comp shocks and there is no way to install them with white part up....I suppose hers are ones that install white part down....

Quite a few can mount upside down.. There are reasons, not really sure of them personally.

My .2 cents on the lift is a Rough County 3" with 2.2 shocks.

Why? The 2.2 have red Rough Country letters and are white, and they have grey springs... But if they said Rough Country, you would have most likely seen that... :facepalm:

I hope you can figure it out!

Edit... I have been "told" haha. Well, I'm outta idea's. Guys, figure this out!

well here is the instructions for my RC lift instal (not my jeep, pic in the instructions)...guess the instructions were wrong, i am aware of the nut and how the shock screws into place, and that nut and screw is located on the top of this pic, the other end of the shock which is the silver skinny part sticking up in her pic is different, the slot the bolt goes in is horizontal which would be impossible to screw into the nut, maybe rough countrys shocks are different i dont know

Looks like your threaded rod is up. What I was saying is that there is no way to mount one upside down because the threaded rod has to be up, so I guess your pic verifies that, thanks. By the way, my RC shocks are just the opposite, as well as all stock shocks, sooooo, the big end is not always up. Oh, and my RC shocks are white.

Maybe it's just me but does it really matter what kind of lift kit it is? It doesn't look high enough to have adjustable control arms. If they're stock, you can buy replacement bushings for $8 I think on quadratec. Not trying to sound like a d*** just trying to save time and needless research

It does look like a Rough Country lift though..my coils look identical to that and the shock looks like the one I have for my steering stabilizer (since I can see so much of it) and my guess would be 3.25"
