Was at the dealer getting my oil changed and noticed that all the 23's on the lot had different leaf springs than me. My lower is a lot beefier but the new truck has 3. Is the lower leaf spring even a leaf spring? Anyone know why mine is different? I have a 23 STX. I do not have a max tow.

I have the max tow on my 23 and it has the 3-pack steel spring vs the single steel/composite setup. Not sure if all teh ones you looked at perhaps had max tow?

There are multiple leaf spring combos based on tow package, Powerboost, etc...
Guess mine is just the generic default. 5.0 STX with the short bed. I know I dont have max tow. Dont even have a trailer brake controller.
