Mine looked just like this, but I took off the small spacer and top overload spring when I installed a flip kit to lower it

No worries. I mostly wanted to let the original poster know about the link so they had access to that information.

Hmm, on this same note, anyone have a picture of their front springs on a K30 4x4? I'm trying to figure out if my front springs are sagging or if they are supposed to look the way they do. Currently they have a downward curve, I was thinking they should be pretty much flat without a load, but I still have about 2" to the bump stop.

I want the truck to sit level, and I can't decide between pulling a couple leaves from the rear, or lift springs in the front. I'm kind of leaning towards pulling leaves in the rear, because it will help the ride a little.
