I've got a 87 v20(same as k20) pickup with stock suspension. The front leafs are nearly flat, not arched like those. It only has two or three leafs in the front, not that stack.

I don't think you can go much by the number of leaves in determining the weight capacity. Different aftermarket companies would build them with different spring rates per leaf, different widths, thicknesses, quantities, etc.
