Can someone identify what rear setup I have?

[AirmanSkee]

I have asked this question before in just chats and stuff, and keep hearing them called different conflicting things. My truck is a 1/2 ton truck, with a 6" ProComp lift. On the rear, I have a total of 8 leafs, 5 in the lower pack, and 3 up top.

I'm guessing the lowers are "Add a leafs" for the rear lift, and the top is an "Overload pack". Or what exactly do I have. Can anyone verify?

Edit: If I remove the upper pack, would it affect my height? Or is that just there to help with loads?

I know I can load the bed with a crap ton of stuff, and put a trailer on it and barely move it at all, but it rides just as smooth as my friends stock Z71.

I've seen set-ups like that before on pulling trucks. As far as the proper technical term I have no idea. But I'd say your probably right with the AAL's and overloads.

Looks like a factory leaf spring with helper springs on the top. The helper springs only help with load.

How many leaves are in a stock rear pack? I thought it was only 3 or 4? I've got 5.

Stock rear is 4 leafs. You have an AAL with the overloads on top

You have a factory spring pack, some trucks have 5 some dont, the pack on top is a helper spring pack, it is basically an overload pack and stiffens up the factory leaf pack, if you remove it it shouldnt affect your height any but have heard of a truck being raised when installed but they arent designed to lift

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