Your precisely right up to 2016, but that changed in 2017 and up. The OP is requesting information on a new truck.
are you counting that bottom 1/3 length leaf that never makes contact on the ends? If I include that then I have 4 in the main pack I guess. I am not sure when that one is supposed to engage but I have had 4000lbs in the back of the truck and it has still never had contact on the ends haha
