counting the springs can't determine the amount of lift unfortunatley... it might be exceptionally hard to actually figure out the current amount of lift..... BUT, if you are not rubbing, you most likely have a 3" or larger lift.
have you been off road or just on the street?

12" from the top of the axle tube to the frame rail is about what you would have with a 4" lift.
Hope this helps.

Well, if there are currently 4 leafs in each of the front leaf packs then they are not stock........stock leaf packs have 2.
Do you have any pics of the front suspension that you could post?
But, yes if you went to a 8" total lift you'd most likely have to lengthen the front shaft, shim the carrier bearing, install new shocks, new trac bar bracket, new pitman arm, and new leaf packs in the rear......and there might be some things I am forgetting.
Hope this helps.

at 8" you'll only need to do the front shaft.... about 100 bucks for labor.... less you don't need any and after 8" you'll also need to do the rear.... other costs usually come into play after 8"
it should cost you between $400 and $1400 to lift your rig up to eight inches (depending on what route you take).... if you pay more, you're probably getting ripped off! (labor excluded)
