Default "New to me" - Lift/Leveling kit installed already?

Since I picked it up a week and a half ago I've thought it sat a little higher than stock. Then today I parked next to a stock F-150 King Ranch and definately noticed that i was sitting higher. Especially in the front. Just wondering if from these pics you guys can let me know if the previous owner may have installed a leveling or small lift kit???

It defiantly looks like it has one but like UrsmAll said that's how to check. I have a 3" too and you may not be able to see spacer if it's less then 3 inch kit. Perfect pictures to go by from ursmall though!

Alright thanks guys! I'm about to head out for a bit and I'll definitely check and see before I leave. I appreciate the quick responses and pictures for reference.

So my plans got pushed back a bit, but I went and checked real quick. It looks like there is a spacer on top of the strut. Here's a pic I took.

That would be a leveling kit

Awesome! One less mod I have to buy. lol. If only I knew what brand and how big... I'm guessing 2.5" or 3"... Seems pretty close to the pic that you posted ursmall.

I'd guess it is a 2.5... But that's just a guess
