Welcome to FTE! Be sure to check out the Guidelines when you get a chance.

I am pretty sure it is four...or five. Someone will come a long and let you know. See ya on the boards!

How many leaf

Mine has 4, the last(one on the bottom) considerably thicker than the other three. Truck is 2.5 - 3 inches higher in rear, would like to lower rear to level vehicle. Suggestions????

Well, if you want to level out the truck you could get new front springs (coil). This will beef up the front end which will level out the truck and still give you the height in the back to carry stuff. I think coil springs from a 4x4 will bring the front up enough for you.

Or if you want to lower it someone else on here will have a suggestion. Good luck!
