Question What width are leaf springs on a '72 C20?

I was recently told that my leafs should be 2.5" wide, but I measured and they're only 2.25" wide, although the overload leaf is 2.5".

The reason I want to know is I'm trying to get some lowering shackles to level out the truck. It seems the only ones available are for 2.25" wide leafs.

Am I measuring wrong somehow?
