Looks stock to me. Must be a 4" AAL on a 3-leaf pack. Mine's a 3 leaf pack but some rams had 4 from factory. Unless its a replacement pack which are 4" I believe. Someone spent big money on that lift.

But those tires look perfect on there! Why go any bigger? They'll probably rub anyway.
I have factory 5 leaf pack on a 1500

4+1 you mean. I didn't count the overload.

No 6 is you count the overload or "helper spring" as it's commonly called.

So there's a third weight rating that nobody knows about? Only two they sold is 2025 and 1705 but whatever. My truck is such a unicorn it's not funny. Tow package and 3 leafs factory. What the heck was it supposed to tow? Air?

And it's commonly called overload wherever I've lived.

I have a 6" Dick Cepek long arm kit in the front...looks kind of like yours from what I can see in your pictures, but I left off the extra shock mounting plate. My rear lift is a shackle flip.

Up north and when I lifted in Texas is was called a helper spring or Chevy helper lol. My pap owned the truck before me (he bought it new) and it has a total of six. I thought hey you said that was one was rare. I also thought he said you could get a 5th wheel setup on a 1500 to lol

Hey sorry it took so long to get back with yall. Between work and drill and my damn honey do list I've been busy, anyways so I finally got around to taking actual measurements, using the stock measurements brian provided me with im thinking i have a 4" lift total. And my rear is about 2" inches higher than the front, so if I put on a leveling kit would that help with the 35s or do I need to do more of a lift all together. I don' want the tires to rub. And thanks for all the replys.
