Here you go Skee! My stock 1/2 ton pack and the 3/4 ton pack I put on it. It is easy to tell they are thicker in every way, shape or form

See, your stock pack came with 3 leafs and an overload on the bottom. So I must have an add a leaf? I may swap to the 3/4 springs when I get back.

Mine has the 3 and an overload. Which is weird concidering I got a 14b and a diesel. figured they'd put beefier rear springs in.

The stock pack like they have up a few posts with 5 leafs must just be on the Tahoes then. Everything I have found shows the same as Kyle and you say. My date just got bumped back so I may be home sooner than planned! So as soon as I get home I will be updating with more pics.

Kyle, how much lift did you end up getting in the rear over the 1/2 ton springs? I plan to upgrade, and if I have blocks then I definitely will. I remember you saying it lifted some.

Just did a check on RockAuto. Looks like Even the 3/4tons had alot of Spring Options. Both have Options for 3/1 like ours, 4/1 and 5/1. As well as HD 7/1's

Alright. I will try to figure out what kind they are when I get home. I plan to upgrade, so I will figure out the setup I will need to lose the block if I have one, and figure out about ditching the aux shocks, and possibly the helper pack.

if you had a block youd see it, you have to have some sort of lift so either a block or an add aleaf unless you have drop shackles and all that but that would all be visable from looking at it.

Yeah. I could almost promise I dont have blocks, but I could be wrong. And none of my angles show the axle enough to tell if I have blocks or not. But I know it sits higher than stock, and has alot more stuff going on under the rear end lol So I need to find out what before I can tell what I need to change haha
