Default 2011 Add-a-Leaf

Supposedly got an add-a-leaf when I put the lift kit on but its still 3 leafs wondering if they took one off and replaced it with a thicker one or if it didn't get put on.
Pictures would help of one with an add a leaf and or pictures of stock leafs so I can compare.

Depending on your package. I think the standard leaf pack is two plus helper. If you got an add a leaf it will be 3 plus the helper. But, if I'm not mistaken, the max tow or HD package adds an extra leaf OEM.

It was three before and they said they put in a bigger block instead of the add a leaf when they put the lift on I'm not sure yet I think my block is a 4" block I don't know what size came with the kit, BDS. I think it sits read end low but I can't tell maybe its just me

NM. That was a dumb question. 4" block is for the 6" lift.

After a quick search, the BDS lift uses a block, not an extra leaf- I'm not sure where they got that from. Does your receipt say anything about an add a leaf or anything related?

Mine with the add a leaf is 3 leaf pack plus the large helper spring. So 4 total. You have the same then?

I have a 4" block and only 3 leafs and my receipt says to put on a leaf so it would be 4 but looks like that didn't happen

If it's just an Add-A-Leaf they may have just taken out the main spring and replaced it with the new one. Does it ride any harsher? If yes, that's what they did.
