Default probably a dumb question on leveling

I bought my 2015 leveled with larger tires. How do I tell how it's leveled, or what brand it is? Go easy on me :P

I don't know what tell you about brand since some aren't marked but most are leveled from the dealer with spacers above the spring on the front shock. If it was leveled by coilover shocks you should be able to read the brand. I wouldn't worry about brand name if its a coil spacer because they all do the same thing but some are rubber and others aluminum

Did you buy new or used? If new then most likely the dealer would list the brand of level on the addendum sheet

I bought used. I guess the main reason is I'm curious if they did use spacers. From what I've heard, that's not really the best route, so if they did that I'd want to look into changing that out.

Just more or less ride quality.

EDIT: might as well take a pic of the rear axle while you're at it so we can let you know if there was anything done there
