Those are the same 5 leaf springs I was incorrectly sold. If you have a stock van you should only have 4. I texted Steven yesterday and he said he still doesn't have them in stock. He's supposed to be shipping me replacements when he gets them so we'll see how it goes. I don't feel comfortable just removing a leaf given others' experience with it failing.
That sounds frustrating! Thanks for confirming these aren't the correct oem replacements.
5 pack springs could raise 0.8 cm than 4 pack's.

I'm mentioning you as this issue seems fairly serious and you're passing it off as though it's not important... IMHO, you've done
@CodyHennigan wrong and it's important for me to support them.
It looks like you are selling a different part to what you've been asked for. First to the Cody, and then tried to do the same to me 2 days ago.
When questioned about it, you're providing instructions to modify the part to make it almost the same thing that it was being advertised as in the first place?
Considering you're charging over 1k for the items AND it's a bit of work to replace, this is quite bad...
I would like to understand though... Would you be open to providing more information to everyone on what you've been selling? As in, what it's from, and how it compares dimensionally?
There's a lot more to this than just stock ride height. There's also the differential angle with the transmission and different packs could alter that fairly significantly. This could lead to added wear to the diff seals, bearings, rear u-joints, and propshaft to name what comes to mind immediately.
Then there's the idea that if it does raise the vehicle, and you're selling it as a stock replacement, will it bottom out stock rear shocks? That could do all kinds of damage.
It's very possible an honest mistake happened. However, given Cody contacted you, you told him to modify the parts to make it stock, THEN you tried to sell me the same item when I asked, it's obviously not being done by mistake.
@stevenlee
In my honest opinion, I think as a minimum, that if you have integrity and sold the wrong part to
@CodyHennigan that you should make make it up to him.
