I'd probably check with the person who put the lift in... Its tough to tell just by a color or lookin at them

Yeah as Matt mentioned it is tough to tell... I can think of a few just by looking at the spring spacing and coil thickness but I really don't want to give false info..

It looks like a linear rate coil, but the top coil spring has been spaced further apart to ad a little more lift to the spring. How does it ride?

If your thinking about improving then maybe we shouldn't worry about figuring out what springs they are..haha

If they were out of the truck I could tell you what spring rate they were but instead I would look at either some Carli or Thuren coils and possibly getting rid of those 5100's. Believe it or not the 5100's are a pretty firm shock. So if the spring rate is stiff and your running a firmer shock you can guess what your truck is fighting...
