Is this factory?

Its some sort of helper spring... I believe it isn't because i haven't seen any with or heard any of it but im not positive... It was pretty sketchy... wood blocks were placed in the frame rails for "Support"

Not stock. Stock helper springs were a single leaf that hit the trailing arm behind the coil spring, not in front of.
