I bought this truck used several years ago. From a distance it appears it has a leveling kit. If it does it must be the spring one. I was wanting to figure it out, because, I am considering replacing the control arms, bushing are going bad, and installing a roadmaster active suspension kit, since my camper puts a huge load on the suspension. Also was considering getting new shocks, since it has 177,000 miles on it. The three reasons I want to know if it has one; is the road master can lift the back end up 2 inches, if so I was thinking of a kit to even it out. Second, is in finding the right shocks. Third is if I get the aftermarket adjustable control arms, it would be nice to know where to set it at. I am also looking at replacing the steering stabilizer. I will feel a clunk in the steering wheel once in a blue moon.
Looks pretty stock to me.... The 3/4 and 1 ton trucks sat a couple inches higher than their 1500 brothers.
Looks like there is a spacer on the top of the spring though. Whether it would be factory on a Cummins or not, I don't know, not too familiar with them.

I don't think it's an aftermarket piece, I think it is more of an insulator, so you don't have direct metal to metal contact there. (which would make some rather rude noises. )

Was refering to the metal plate above the isolator. Don't know if the isolator is supposed to be “inside” the bucket and there’s a spacer in there, or if that’s the way they come from the factory.
That is my problem, tried watching a few videos, I am beginning to think that is a spacer above the insulator. Most videos didn't want to show the before and after pictures..
