Looks like my K5 has an aftermarket helper spring? It sits a little high in the back with the top off - or is this the stock spring?

Mine don't have that bottom overload spring in there. That would only raise the truck by the thickness of that spring when it is unloaded though. A good set of stock springs will sit the truck noticeably high in the rear when the top is off.
