1979 lift question

I am installing a 4 inch skyjacker lift kit in my 79 f150. It came with an extra leaf for the rear. My question is where does this leaf go? At first I thought maybe the bottom of the pack but now I'm wondering if it might go below the top spring. Anybody have any ideas?

It usually goes somewhere in the middle. Look for some instructions or call the manufacturer.

if its a short THICK leaf..similar in length to the overload, then put it on the bottom right above the overload spring. IF its a long thin one put it between the 2nd and 3rd leaf probably
