Are these springs stock. Picture inside

I am trying to figure out if my springs are stock. I noticed that under all the rust they have silverish gold paint on them and im pretty sure the stock 2nd gen springs were black. I am setting at 15 inches fender to rim. I also have coil spring spacers that measure 2 inches on the outside but the spring set up into them about 1/2 inch. The only silver springs I know of are the downeys. But I dont think it it setting high enough to be downeys unless they have sagged. They have been on my 4Runner since I got it 4 years ago. Maybe some of you that are more familiar with 2nd gen springs can tell me if they are stock or not. Please excuse all the snow and ice

Mine were black when I took them off. I think they were stock, as it had the typical "ass sag". There was ZERO rust on them, so compared to the rest of the underbody, they could have been replaced...

well, I guess they are some sort of aftermarket springs. You can clearly see the silver paint. Im thinking they are downey coils that are old and saggy.
