Factory setup questions about rear springs and leveling...

[Sizemore]

My C10 sits higher in the rear, looks like there was 8 pack leaf springs in the rear. Keyword "was" because some of the leafs have snapped in half. I see there are 4, 6 and 8 leaf replacement springs. I assume the 4 leaf is the bone stock?

In a bone stock configuration the truck should sit perfectly level correct? If not what is needed to make it perfectly level?

Thanks,
The S.

I think my '84 has 4 leaves plus the flat overload leaf. The rear is supposed to sit a couple inches higher in the rear, when it's stock.

Yea mines got 9 if i remember right. They are higher in the rear so when you put a load in them they sit level.

Mines 8 but sits level. Thinking I might try new 4 spring leafs.
