I have the same thing in mine Danny. Maybe it's a tahoe/yukon thing since we have more weight back there from the factory?

I don't know, thats why I am trying to figure out haha

Without a block the only thing i could think is maybe 6" lift springs but they dont look to be arched, unless there is something we arent seeing in the pictures, but it looks identical to my leaf packs except i dont have the helper pack, i got pictures of my friends spring pack on his 97 and he has 5 leafs plus the overload totalling 6 leafs, unless you have the shackles instead of blocks

Idk. I am not home to see or take anymore pictures unfortunately. I was just trying to figure some stuff out while Im gone haha As far as I know, I dont have any different shackles, and these are the only pics I had on my photobucket.

My guess would be hangers or shackles because the leaf still looks fairly flat, not like a 6" lift spring would look

Your upper leaf pack is a helper assembly sold by hellwig. I had one on my truck too...

Thanks Paul. Did the helper pack make it ride worse than before having it? Or affect the height at all? And since I have the 3 pack, it adds 2500lbs to the capacity? or how does that work?

Nah my truck ride great with it on there. I had to cut some of the fasteners when I did the lift so it hasn't been put back on yet.

It does help with capacity, but you still can't exceed the gcvw of the truck. It's mainly to help keep the truck from squatting but doesn't really effect ride if it's installed right. Yours is cranked way down in those pictures if it's unloaded.

In those pics, I had the camper shell on, and some spare parts in the bed. It was a week or so after I got it. I have ALOT more pictures on my home computer, but those are the only ones I have on my PB. I love the way my truck rides now. Not rough, but not to bouncy either. And love that I can load it up without it looking like a dog draggin its a$$ across the carpet.

Now, to just find out what the deal is with my lowers. Is there a way to tell the difference between 1/2 ton and 3/4 springs by looking at them?

 

[AirmanSkee]

If you look up the part listing of my lift, it included add a leafs. Now if that's what I have installed or not, I don't know?

Edit: Part # 13124 in Box 5 of 5 on the part listing, "Add a Leaf kit". But it also has a diagram for a 3" block if used. I am almost 100% positive I am not running a block on the rear, but could be wrong. I never saw one, but may be incorrect and make an ass out of myself.
