Pretty sure the straight one is a helper spring, I want to say I only have 3 leafs in mine, I'll see tomorrow

My truck has got that same spring setup as pictured. Was just looking at it today trying to figure out if it had a helper spring on it or not.

So I just picked me up a set of Moog cc844's today. Question... Anyone who has these or knows about them... Do the REALLY look progressive? I'm no spring expert but there doesn't seem to be ALOT of difference between the coils in the spring. Is it pretty subtle or would it really stand out? Just want to make sure that what was in the right box is the right part.

I'm no expert but have seen quite a few progressive springs and there pretty noticeable in all the applications I've seen ie tight coils on one side and a more spread out coil on the other. Hope that helps

Took en back and swapped for another set. Same springs...but I think the ones I got first had been sitting around a while...paint was dull and not near add nice looking as the ones I have now. Anyway...I'm positive I have the right thing now.

Is that stock? I want to say I have 5 leafs plus the straight one, although that might explain the rake

Yeah stock. However mine also has 2.73 gearing. Not a beefy set up in any regard

My 94 has 4. May be adding another after putting on the front springs tomorrow... We'll just see how she sits.
