what size lift do i have?

I bought an 06' Dodge 2500 Cummins used awhile ago and now it needs new shocks, I'm going to get the Bilstein 5100's but I don't know what size lift the pickup came with, there are 2 options in the shocks 0-2.5" lift and 3-6" lift. I know that the pickup is lifted, but the dealer i bought it from didn't know what size lift it had. If anyone can help me out i'd appreciate it, thanks.

I would guess 3-4". But get a pic of the coil's (top looking for a spacer) and the rear leafs (bottom looking for AAL or block)

You would be safe to purchase the three to six set

You can also measure from the top of the front axle to the top lip of the coil spring bucket and compare this to factory height.

I'm thinking 3"> front (likely 4" like AH64ID says), 2" rear.

Your coils have any tags or marking on them?
