    nothing, all stock expect got a OE replacement air filter K&N.
    the rear, you have blocks under those leaf's springs. plus your leaf springs are shot. the front, can't really tell. may need better pictures of the whole shocks from top to bottom. guessing from your truck that can fit 33's, you have body lift.

    Well I don't have a body lift and from what we can tell it is the skyjacker lift in the back. But it doesn't have a spacer on the front and it looks like the stock strut so it has to be a bigger spring but what kind is it?

    Those are definitely stock struts...didn't know monroe made OEM struts for toyota...hmmm... and no spacers indeed...so they must be lift coils. Only way it could be lifted.

    Well considering it has 33 12.50s on it. It doesn't have a spacer or a body lift. its got the stock strut its got to be the coil. I think seeing as how th back is a skyjacker lift that the front is a skyjacker lift to. And also i am pretty sure that skyjacker uses Procomp Coils. But thats all I have come up with.

    The truck rides so rough we are trying to put new suspension on it but Without knowing what is on there it is hard to replace or get an equivilent

    Also do you know a Cameron h>?
