Modified is a good word to describe any particular part of the truck.

looks like a levered parallel four link. Instead of the coils running vertical it has an arm that pivots to press against the coil-over. Keep the adjustability of the coils but maximum flex and droop of the solid rear.....

...?

it's a cantilever type suspension - long travel without modifying the body with shock hoops and what not. This one is on a JK.

Basically it's a subframe, axle pushes up on a cantilever that's attached to horizontally mounted springs/coilovers/shocks.

I normally shy away from parallel four links because they let the axle twist and roll too much when you run power through them, but in a setup like that I guess it doesn't matter.
