    Right now my truck has a 4 leaf spring pack, probably an add-a-leaf, and I'm gonna be removing one but still want to be able to carry heavy loads. So my question is there a way to tell which spring of the two middle ones is the weakest and which one would most likely be able to carry the most weight.

    Post up a pic if you can. It's best to see first. My guess is to keep the main leaf, the one with the C clamps, and the bottom thick overload. And if there's one more in there, this would be the one to get rid of. I'd still like to see a pic tho.
