Thanks for the responses guys, here are a few more pics of the front springs. After reading the responses I think Bucket youre probably right, it looks like the 2 stock springs, with 2 more added underneath.

Yup, that's exactly what it is. Looks like it was done a while ago too.

Thats what Im finding with this truck. It had some things done to it, but they were all done a while ago, so I am working on bringing it back up to date.

Would there be any advantage to having a actual "lift kit" set of front springs, other than new, fresh springs under it?

Depending on the brand it will ride nicer. Right now as it is, the spring rate is probably really high.
