How many leaf springs are in a original spring ?  My second leaf is as long as the main leaf , right up to the eye bolt on each end. Someone might have added it.

Lou

Your second leaf is correct. The HD springs (police, taxi, etc) had 7 leafs the regular cars had 5.

Lou, I may be wrong but the info I have is 6 leafs or 4

My cars had 5 but were built in the east, Someville, MA and Marwar, NJ. Years ago I bought the springs off and old police car from NY it had 7, the data plate was missing and the frame number was not readable.
