Front leafs...2 pack AND 3 pack???

Doing a resto on my truck, and when I took off my springs I noticed the right side is 2 pack and the left is 3?? It's a 72 K20 with the dana 44 of a 1977 K20. Is this normal or should I be on the hunt for new front leafs?

No they would be the same number of leaves, left and right, from the factory.

Someone may have done that to level it out. These trucks were sort of known to have driver's side droop.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.

Hmm, ok thanks. Is it worth replacing, I suppose I can throw them in and see how they look when it's all back together and go from there. But it just doesn't seem right
