Determining lift kit brand

Alrighty so I'm trying to figure out what lift kit this is, and how high it can go once cranked up... can't figure out what it is and didn't get a good look at the rear suspension. They can both be cranked up to provide 2" of lift (or so he claims), its currently at stock height.

Heres a crappy pic, thanks to anyone who might be able to figure it out. I dont think there can be to many brands out there?

That looks like the Fabtech "Basic" kit on a set of Bilstein shocks.

The kit consists of a set of sleeves that are secured to the shock with set screws and then adjust the coils up and down like real coilovers. It looks like there's about 2" or so more lift available on that sleeve.

The kit is neither durable or reliable, but instead is designed to be a cheap way to get 2 1/2" of lift or so, for light use. If you read the paperwork that comes with it, it actually says in very small print, "Not for offroad use"!

Thanks for all the info!

I'll prolly junk it and go for the stock-taco-coil lift then... if I buy it.
