Chromed95:
How many is your leaf pack ?
I believe there are 5 in one pack for my stock leafs. In my aftermarket ones there are 7/pack. I didn't know there was a width difference from 1/2 to 3/4 ton springs

Got a donor pack from Wh1t3NuKle last night
I used the bottom leaf, not the overload but the one with the pack retainer on it.
I cut it 2" past the retainer, basically took 4" off each end and installed that into my pack.
I gained 1.25", was hoping for 2" but the truck sets pretty level now.
Also the ride is a lot nicer now, stiffer but not to stiff and handles corners better, less body roll.
