    OK, lots of info out there. I need it in one place. 2011 4x4. I have 3 leafs, 3 clips.

    Does my truck qualify for the TSB or not?

    Pretty sure you should be getting a 4 leaf pack?
    I’d get ahold of the dealer.

    I don't get what the issue is with the springs being flat...they are like that by design. Any arch in the leaf pack will add lift to the truck because of this.

    I replaced the OEM leaf pack with a set of Dakars (3rd leaf removed) and they have been great. I had a bit more weight than stock when I installed the springs (shell, bolt on sliders, and recovery gear) but since then I've installed skids and a HC rear bumper that have added weight to the rear so I'll probably be reinstalling the 3rd leaf this summer.

    My tsb spring pack has way less arch than the 3 leaf pack had. They are almost s shaped.
    Nice to not have a broken spring every year.
    No heavy hauling or wheeling just home work and a daily toy.
