Question Help identifying previously installed lift

Hey all!
I bought a 2000 Ford Excursion 4x4 LTD V10 earlier this year. Love the truck!!
Here's my question.....
It is lifted, I'm pretty sure. I have 35 x 12.5 tires on it and they sometimes rub when I hit a bump while in a turn (like pulling into my driveway).
I would like to lift it more than what it is rather than step down tire size.
Anyways, how can I identify the lift that the previous owner had installed? Are there any identifying parts?
It had some store brand HD shocks on it before I installed Rancho RS9000's and the stock steering stabilizer before I got the Rancho SS.
It was a Utah truck so it has a bunch of rust on the underside. Pretty much everything is rusty and all of it looks OEM. i.e. No parts look any newer than the rest, indicating the parts that were changed.
If anybody is an expert in this area, I'd appreciate your help. I can take pics of any parts that you think might help identify it.

Thanks in advance!!

if i am not mistaken you can run 35x12.50's with minimal rubing without a lift, so i would say it is stock! but i could be wrong.

It may, indeed, be stock. That would be best since I was nervous about replacing an aftermarket kit with a different kit in case the new kit needed stock parts.
Thanks for your input!
