I posted this on the other site, but thought I would post here too to see what kind of input I could get:

Anyone know the difference between the 2011 Leaf Springs compared to the 2008-2010 Leaf Springs? My 2008 Leaf Spring has five leafs plus the overload, and I have heard talk of the 2001 Leaf Springs only having three leafs.

Just curious what the differences are, ride wise, load capacity wise etc.

I did find this info:

http://special-reports.pickuptrucks.com/2009/09/first-look-2011-ford-fseries-super-duty.html

In it they state:

The suspension has been tuned up, too. The shocks have new internal valve settings and the spring rates have been adjusted for better ride comfort. In 2008, Ford introduced its 3-plus-1 spring pack for both the diesel and gas trucks but the 2011 model SD pickups with diesel engines are setup with a new 2-plus-1 kit. Brewer said the 2-plus-1 setup reduces some of the spring binding from friction that drivers felt as a secondary impact after hitting road bumps. It also saves weight for improved fuel economy.
