What's Causing the Rear Lift on my Truck?

I'm not familiar with the stock setup of leaf springs on my '91 4WD Toyota Pickup. A few people and even I have wondered why the rear of my truck seems raised more than normal. Idk if it's an Add-a-leaf, something I forgot to take out when I took the 3" lift block out, or just my rear tires are newer than my front. I would think the leafs should be pretty worn down as it's carried it's fair share of loads by now (Rocks, wood, etc). The tires are 33s.

it's a add-a-leaf. stock pack has 3 main + 1 overload you have 4 "main" and 1 overload. Your AAL is the one on the bottom on top of the flat overload.

Also looks like your e-brake cable is also rubbing on the spring pack. Probably due to the fact the extra thickness of the aal plus the extra "retainers???" from the block setup. Pretty sure that [ ] (flip 90 degrees) looking thing isn't factory either. but not 100%.

Ah I see, thank you

Yeah, I wasn't sure if those retainer things were factory either, but it seemed nice to have so I left them on.
