Looks like a leveling spacer on top of the front strut to me. The back is probably untouched, that's just a load adjusting shock that's been installed. We'd need a picture of the spring perch to see if anything's been done back there.

Yes, spacer height will tell you the amount. Good luck on brand... EVERYBODY makes them these days and there's really no definitive way to tell.

Pretty sure the spacer itself, isn't going to be exactly 2", 2.5", or 3". I never measured my spacer, but I know I heard it on here somewhere.

And I can tell you that it's not a 2.5" Hell Bent Steel kit.
Here is mine.

So do you think it's bigger than 2.5?

No you cannot. The spacer is not the same as the lift you get from it. You need to take into account the geometry of the LCA relative to the position of the strut mount on it.
