Default is it lifted?

hi im thinking of a lift in the near future but iv decided i need more info before i start. first off i dont know if there is any lift on my truck i bought it used so always just assumed it was stock but have had people tell me it looks lifted already. its a 2500 sport package 4x4 and i have 35" tires and no rubbing issues. is this normal? i know the tires are larger than most 2500's i see but is that whats giving the lifted apperance? and i was told if i measured from the bottom of the fender to the center of the hub on my truck then measured another 2500 the same way it would answer my question is this true? any advice would be good

That is the correct way to measure.

Sport won't change the suspension height.

By the sig picture I think you might have a bit of lift out back, but not up front.

Some half tons had suspension changed to 2500 spec, sometimes ordered that way. They're rare, but they exist.

Probably a leveling kit up front and maybe a block or add a leaf in the back.
