Rear Leaf packs

I am in the process of replacing the rear leaf springs and am leaning towards the Fabtech's offering with small blocks to level out what I already have on the front. My goal is to replace the piece of garbage add-a-leafs that ruined my stock setup from ProComp.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I can't help you on the new spring choice. I guess you need 6" lift?
But I'm curious did the add a leafs break the OEM springs?

No, didn't break them, just scarred them. The ProComps don't come with the plastic buttons on the ends. I didn't realize that the ends of the add-a-leaf was bent slightly upward so that the added was digging into to the stocker above it. Over time the friction and material removal will prematurely fatigue the packs. Additionally, the squeak is louder than my truck with FM70's at 1500 RPM, windows rolled up and the stereo on at about three bars volume
