IIRC the up country option was available on the classic. It gave a 1" lift ex the factory. If your springs are good, you may wish to look for a set of JK (I think) standard shocks. You can get very good second hand ones for next to nix.
The build sheet shows it has "SDB SUSPENSION - HEAVY DUTY". Also have spring codes (eg -"ZGJ SPRING - LEFT FRONT") but when I look them up it doesn't really make it clear if it's the 1in lift Up Country suspension.

When I measured it (from centre of wheel to lower lip of flare), it's 450mm front and 420mm rear. From a net search that seems about stock ride height. Does that sound right?
