Those are stock control arms and clevises (clevii?)

BDS rear springs have a lot of coils (same with the one ThunderbirdJunkie installed) and was a great riding suspension.

Will say you have some really rusty front brake lines coming off the banjo bolts at the calipers though; replace those ASAP just to be safe.

It's amazing how things present themselves when you get the dirt off:

Rusty's spring lift A true spring lift which may be what's on mine BUT do you think those front forks below the springs are stock on mine??
They look long to me but I have nothing to compare to.

How much lift is on a OME HD spring lift? About 2.5"?
Sounds like I should do the springs and shocks at the same time.

The clevis' are stock like TBJ stated NO QUESTION about it:cool:
coils are getting weak you can tell that
if you're sitting at 20.5 you only have about 1.5 inches of lift over stock
Replace it all with OME 927s/948s and a good set of shocks/bumpstops and it will be way better than now

Judging by the yellowish colour of the shocks up front I'd say with 100% certainty that those are Rusty's shocks. I have a pair in my shed. My Rusty's gear lasted all of about 65K miles. Just replaced it all with OME790/948 and Rancho RSX17505 and 17004. Much improved.

Rusty's front shocks are OMEs, ( they used to be anyways, he just put his sticker over to hide the OME)
just his rear shocks are junk,
well those and his springs!
