Can anyone tell what kind of lift I've got? It is about two inches. Here are a couple pics. I can get more if there is something specific. I want to get new bushings for the links. Thanks!

That is the good old budget boost
So I just found pics of stock links and it looks like stock ones are stamped steel, so these aren't stock. The upper ones do look stock. Are bushings all the same, or do I need to figure out what my lowers are to get the right bushings?
They are painted black, if that means anything.

It would help to have a pic of those. Rubber or synthetic?
I'm try and get one. Black rubber I think, but I'll check to be sure.

Yep, definitely some aftermarket adjustable lower control arms with some 2-3'' coil spring spacers. My best guess is the previous owner got a good deal on the control arms and bought the spacers separate. Some pics of the shocks and the rear leaf packs might give more info though.
Here is the axle end of the control arm. I think it's actually oily. Seems pretty hard and there is a grease fitting. Don't think you would want to grease rubber ones.

Those front link bushings are aftermarket and look to be poly. What color did the link used to be. Any tell tale paint on them. If they look decent, and not really loose, then don't worry about then. They will outlast rubber. Rear is add a leaf, could be anything from an S10 leaf to new aftermarket.
They are painted black. There is some play in the passenger one.
I know the bushings in the stock uppers are rubber.

Upper bushings are stock then. But I am not sure about the bottoms
Well, I have Moog problem sooner bushings on the way for the uppers. Still don't know what brand these lowers are. Guess I'll have to pull one off and measure the bushing and try to find something to match up.

Haven't had time to pull a lower and measure the bushing yet. Any ideas on what brand these lowers are, or how to figure it out? They are painted black and have flex joints on the frame end.

A pic of the flex joints might help
Here's a couple:

That looks like a Johnny Joint. What color are the springs? What kind of shocks?
Shocks are black, and may be the oem ones with spacers. Shocks are Pro Comps.
Here's the spring and shock.

Ok, I just pulled one of the lower arms off. The bushing end has an inside diameter of 1.5" and is 2.2" wide.

Those joints have a snap ring in the other side?
Yep, they do.

Johnny Joints for sure. If you want to rebuild those, then Currie is the ones that manufacture them and has the stuff to do that. Other companies have the parts too. My local 4X4 shop can get the stuff for that too
