AOL leaf spring question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I mocked up my AOL setup leaving 3 leafs and a 1 inch spacer on a flipped rearend on a 78 blazer.Now I put one side together with the dowel pin through the leafs and secured the u- bolts snug and let it down to see how it was sitting again, now the side I put the dowel pin through is sitting higher than the other side.The hangers look to be the same and not hanging up.It sat level when it was just a mock up.So I guess my question is with the dowel pin in the leafs would it act as a stronger spring
