Help identifying suspension setup

Hey everyone, I just changed my shocks and was curious on what was used previously to get my current drop. It is caked with crud so I am guessing it is just cut springs but wanted to see if anyone saw different. Would like to go to drop spindles at one point.
Thanks



and the way she sits

Re: Help identifying suspension setup

to my knowledge no one makes drop spindles for drum brakes....most likely cut coils was the method used...

Yep, cut springs. No dropped spindles for drum brakes and the other way would be stepped lower A arms, which you do not have.
