Yes I understand that it has to fit in the pocket, the question is , is the second leaf suppose to be there or was it added as a helper spring ? And the little bottom springs in the second pic suppose to be in the stack . When I received the car they were all in the stack so it essentially had 6 leafs when counted, I'm just trying to find out if that second leaf is common to big block builds or not there at all? I would think someone on this site must know a bit about these springs. Thanks

Someone added the squared end second leaf. It looks like an original 5 leaf.
