Default Rear Leaf springs

I have an 04 Dodge Ram RC. it sits level right now and just from glancing under it i cant tell how the rear was lowered. it rides like crap. Floats and seems loose over bumps. Other than buying new leaf springs and a lowering kit for the rear end is there any other options? do they make leaf springs that i can get to replace mine that will lower/level the rear end?

Was the rear lowered or the front leveled?

I looked at it again last night and it looks like they took a leaf out. It's lower in the back.

How many leaves are there? I have a visible add a leaf, but you should have 3 main ones and a helper on bottom.
I just ordered these: http://4x4.fatbobsgarage.com/dodge-r...spx?noredirect

Over time our springs fatigue and lose their literal spring. I just finished my hunt for new Torsion bars and ordered 4" lift leaves and a 1" block to replace my 2" add a leaf and 3" block.
