That looks much better, when you get it on the ground with the vehicle weight on it it will be just right.

When I added the add-a-leaf to the rear pack and had the axle loose and truck in the air that's what mine looked like.

I think you will be just fine. Here is a pic of how my stock springs were with the truck on blocks and with the axle attached but the wheels off. You'll be fine.

Hindsite is always so clear, isn't it?? Ya shoulda posted these pics before ya switched. Looks perfect now! Are those the springs you returned?? They look matched to the frame. Sometimes friends can be such a pain in the butt! Move on to the next step!!
