Default is it lifted?

You guys will have to forgive me...I've always been a car guy...I know NOTHING about lifts and stuff yet. But I'm trying to learn.

Is my truck lifted? It seems like it sits high to me.

The tires are 265/70 17's...and it's 36" from ground to fender. Is that stock? It seems that it's been leveled as discussed on the forum, and it sits way higher than my wife's Yukon... I have to stand on the floorboards to scrape the windshield...

Is it lifted or does the dodge just sit high?

I looked under the truck and don't see any frame blocks, it has the air bag ride on the back, but I have it 'deflated'.
If there is a certain shot that would help determine, I'm all ears.

Thanks.

My bet is the previous owner cranked the torsion bars up or installed afermarket leveling keys. It definitely does not look like the factory rake...

well these guys are good ^ because id say your just a 4x4 sitting on 17's, especially given the angle the picture was taken at. But then when i actually do look, i am noticing a good size gap between metal and tire
