Yea with the overload that was removed from this pack , this would’ve had 5 (4+1) leafs . The guy that had it before hauled with it , at one point it had a 5th wheel hitch , so it makes sense he would’ve got bigger springs . Whoever lowered it just put shackles and hangers and removed the overload leaf. Why anyone would use a reg cab step side for a 5th wheel is beyond me lol

Since it has the larger pack , the spring rate is most definitely higher and probably raised the rear more than the lower rated 1/2 ton pack. I’m willing to bet the oem springs will put it back a little lower . At the very least it should ride better and fix my driver side lean
