What Suspension Do I Have???

its a 2000 3.4 V6 Manual 4x4...

its got 240k miles on it... i believe suspension was redone at least once...

looks like adj bilstein coilover on front???

possibly stock springs (blue/yellow?) and bilstein shocks in rear???

the rear is sagging and completely bottoms out occasionally... lots of desert washboard roads... trying to establish/confirm my current suspension so i can replace rear with new springs and shocks (but they aren't leaking at all) at the proper height and weight... occasionally travel with motorcycle on rear no trailer, just rack...

what would you get?

Looks like stock springs with spacers. The rear looks to be missing the cone bump stop that goes on the inside of the rear spring.

stock springs are on the front also??? or are these OME 881???
is the front actually running a lift? just spacers up front? are these the adjustable billys??


should i go with the 906 or 890 rear???

the front seems to be in good shape, so i'd like to start with only replacing the rear, and then doing the front next year or something...

currently running 265/75/16

the front bilsteins are not the adjustable type.

if budget is not an issue, go for icon shocks front and rear:

another option would be the sonoran steel suspension:
