Default Question about front suspension

Hey guys, I have a stock 1993 k1500 with a 5.7 350, and I was wondering what the front suspension is. Is it coil springs or leaf? Thanks!

It should be coil springs but it is easy for you to take a look.

Long arm, short arm, coil sprung independent front suspension I believe. But as said, get down there and have a look.

a stock 4wd truck uses torsion bars suspension, no springs, with two a-frame controls arms on each side. the torsion bars come off the lower control arms and run towards the rear of truck. bars should end at a crossmember about mid cab of truck underneath.
