Both. As far as ground clearance is concerned,

Springs (and sta-bars/"swaybars") define how far the car rolls.

Struts and shocks mostly just affect how fast the car gets there. Really old/dead/soft/bad ones will let the car "overshoot" past the roll angle that the springs and bars would stop you at if you could sneak up on that roll angle very slowly (it's a momentum in roll thing).
