See pictures from a member's FS thread. Also how the oem rear suspension looks (from Edmunds.com). See the spring and shock are at different spot.

If one goes for the "true type" rears, then the spring would be mounted on the shock. That big spring bucket will just hold air.

Of course, one should have adjustable arms if switching to aftermarket spring and shocks.

Another question,
In the picture with the standard oem set up(rear) what’s the name of the arm below, attached to the knuckle? I know i replaced it some years ago with an spl arm (before they were too expensive lol. maybe i could get away with keeping and not having to change those
