you probably didn't get a lift kit while changing tires (if im reading correctly) But you did go from a 245 to a 265. The tire size is about an inch or 2 different. so it migh apear to sit higher (and does) but not cause its lifted. But to check to see if its lifted, and probably not much or you would def. know, look at the front coil springs. on the top there would be (as long as the lift was just the leveling kit or like 3 inches) a rubber boot about 2-3 inches thick. That would mean it had a lift. I just bought some on ebay...heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=140127046171. If you see something like those you have a leveling kit. Hope this answers your question.

You can also check the rear leafs to see if you have blocks as well as the body mounts to see if it's a body lift. But I'm guessing it's not lifted, just the larger tires (I got the same question when I stuck 33's under mine when I had the stock susp.

compare this to yours. my 01 non sport, non offroad has factory 3" blocks under the leaf springs and the rear fender wells sit 41" from the ground at the center of the tires. i think the front is about 39. i have about 1/2" sag on the drivers side. my tires are a little taller.
