Can someone identify what rear setup I have?

Incorrect sir, it has 4 leafs in the pack and the 5th is factory overload spring

You sure?

If you remove the overloads you might lose an inch at most. Agreed they aren't designed to lift it's just a side effect sometimes. The AAL is where your lift is coming from.

I thought it was 4 as well. Correct me if I'm wrong......

This is the conflicting info I keep getting everywhere else haha I thought it was 4, but could be wrong. I don't want to lose any height at all though.

Same spring setup aside from the helper springs that my friends 97 has, my 96 had 3 springs with the overload but some come with 4 and an overload, and if you look at the 5th spring the only spot touching is the middle of the spring, the ends do not touch until there is a load in it, as the springs start to squat they sit on the overload

sounds like a 3/4 ton leaf pack to me

Then I'd say don't remove it just to be safe. Just my .02.

Why do you want to remove it? Just curious.

I planned on upgrading to a 3/4 ton pack anyways, and removing the rear trac bars/aux shocks. The guys up here in the club in AK said to remove those as well. But they had conflicting info, as well as on 3 other forums and FB pages I have asked.

If its just a factory pack, then how do I have 6" of lift in the rear? I dont have blocks, or a shackle flip.

I dont doubt you, just this is throwing me and everyone who looks at it for a loop.
