If that was the case, the bottom, beafy spring is just paper weight in this set up. I was always under the impression, that it is the top spring, that is not touching the stop without the load what is factory overload spring. I have one of those on F450. My F250 has 3 springs less than the setup on the picture.
Would say this is more F550 setup.

Wow, what a difference. I have a 2012 and going to do the same thing. Did you have to replace the shocks or U Bolts. I have about 1/2 inch of thread remaining on my U bolts. Any advise would be aprriciated. Hate to get half way through the project and find out i need extra parts.

Here is a before & after pic towing my Carson Titan 28ft Toy Hauler. 1st pic there are no ATV's. 2nd pic it is fully loaded 2 ATV's water ect...With the Add-A-Leaf installed the trailer pulled great. Much much less body roll, and no more of that annoying bounce when I hit a dip on the freeway.
This was also the first time I towed in the mountains with the 5 Star Custome Tunes. They performed flawlessly even up the 8% grades in the Big Horn Mts.
:BEFORE & trailer not fully loaded
:AFTER & fully loaded...Some pics of the Big Horn Mts were we camped
