Default lift help

First want to appologize if i post in the wrong spot.

I purchased a 98 cherokee with 31x10.5-15s, the previous owner wasnt sure if he had a 3.5 or 4.5 inch lift.

I do know it is a BDS lift and it was put on 3-4 years ago, my question is which lift is it? How can i determine which it is. If it is 4.5 I would like to get bigger tires. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance

Let's see some pics and maybe we can figure it out. Or take some measurements and post them for comparison

From the middle of the rim to the bottom of the fender flare stock is 17in on front or back (can't remember which). And the other is 17.5 in.
