Leaf Spring "Add-a-Leaf" Help

Hello All,

First post here.

I've finally gotten around to rebuilding my Dad's 71 GMC K15 4x4. I've come to the front leaf springs and he bought a Superlift 2500 & 2509 add a leafs to give the truck a slight lift. When I pulled the front leafs off (which are 2 leafs and mounted above the axle) I put it beside the add a leaf and it looks WAY off. It doesn't seem possible to get this extra leaf in the pack because of the length and arch difference. Am I missing something here? Do I have the correct "add-a-leaf" set? Summit and Jegs both said it will but i'm doubting it now. I feel at this point it would be easier to go with new lift leaf spring packs like the Tuff Country ez-ride. As you can see in the picture, the existing leaf is almost flat and the add-a-leaf has a significant arch.

Has anybody else run into this problem? I apologize if this is redundant.

Thanks in advance
