I purchased a replacement leaf spring pack at the truck recyclers out in Rancho Cordova.
Turned out the 6 leafs can be fairly damn heavy. I will be taking it apart tomorrow and duplicate the configuration I currently have. I should have used penetrating oil and let it set overnight but I forgot to do that.

Taking apart the replacement leaf spring stack was straight forward. I did have a bit of concern that there would be a small amount of energy while being in the same position.
