    Pretty sure the 2009 had 3 plus an overload, so yeah looks like it's got one more. Could also be an entirely different leaf pack rather than an add a leaf.

    ^ This.

    05-11 had 2+1 packs from factory.
    12-15 had 3+1 packs from factory.

    05-11 were eligible for the 12-15 3+1 set for free as a safety recall.

    Your truck either has an aal or an aftermarket pack.

    minor tweaks
    They changed my original 2/1 packs out for the 3/1s during that recall, it kinda surprised me how bad the new OE springs sucked (by themselves), virtually no improvement over what they removed. The packs were completely flattened out in a just a couple years and the truck drove empty 99.9% of the time.

    I have the icon leaf pack and the rear of my truck sits pretty high, definitely has a noticeable rake to it. I actually prefer this though because I often put a lot of weight in the rear and when I do my truck sits level. I'd hate to drive it with weight in the bed and be doing a Carolina squat.

    I got the 3/1 off Craigslist (50$) & added a toytec aal, left the overload in. Really helped with my shell & rear

    The leaf pack in the original post has a single AAL.

    My factory 3+1’s were flat after 36k and both sides completely broke like the 2+1’s after 80k.
    Bought 3rd gen’s as a temporary replacement and then bought actual packs after that.
