Hi! So I’m not sure what the owner before me installed or not, but I’ve been looking into upgrading my wheels/tires and leveling out the back and the front. Just wondering if anyone has any advice!

Looks like it's at an angle... have a pic on level ground? Can you tell us whether it is a BB/spacers or if it's just longer springs? A pic of the front and back springs would help, including the top of each where spacers would go.

I’m assuming it’s only longer coils. The front are 14in and the back are 10in. Doesn’t look like there are any spacers anywhere.
 
That's 2" of lift, but the back has the seat out and is likely a higher rate spring .

Some rake is good, as I recently learned, because it compensates for a load, such as camping equipment.

Yours has a lot and I'd decide my ultimate tire height before I did anything, then proceed - based on having more information.

The reason I say that is 2" more on the front is going to get into some other changes to make it work, and dropping the back may be more cost effective.
 
Add 1" spacers or 3" lift springs up front. I do that on all of my Jeeps because I never ride people in the back seats. It will still sit slightly higher in the rear.
