Need ADD A LEAF help asap.

[DENALIHD66]

I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 6.2L crew cab short bed 4x4 with Max Trailer package. 
 

I originally ordered the Zone add a leaf from American trucks. Their website showed compatible. Tear the rear end apart only to find out the add a leafs don’t have the alignment pins. They only have a single hole for the center bolt. 
 

American trucks exchanged them and I ordered the ReadyLift add a leaf springs that showed 2 holes in the center of the leaf. 
 

They arrived today and they too only have 1 center hole. The sticker on them said Deaver.  Not sure if that’s who readylift uses or what?

 

Either way; I need to figure out what add a leaf will fit my truck. It doesn’t seem like the max trailer package has a different option than regular, but I need one that has the alignment pin that’ll fit between my existing leafs. 
 

I will use it for heavy hauling and towing so please do not respond with “just go with a block.”

 

Also the ads on this website have gotten insanely obnoxious. This is my third attempt typing this post. Ads have completely interrupted me trying to type this post out every time.

Sorry, I can't help with question on springs but...

I use Brave as my main browser and it blocks pretty much all the ads not only on this site but pretty much all the sites I use. You might give it a try.

I had the same issue.  I drilled the holes that were needed.

I found a video online and that alignment pin is simply a rolled piece of steel. And it says to simply pound it out and discard it. So the provided clips take care of the alignment on their own then?

 

I see tons of posts on these forums of people loving their Zone add a leafs and zero posts about this issue. So I’m not understanding if this is a Max Trailer spring pack issue only, or if others just discarded the alignment pin altogether

I had the Zone add-a-leaf installed by an aftermarket installer.
No issues and added a 1.5" lift, as well.
No more squatting when towing.
I do have the tow package, not max tow package, but it installed without issue, according to the installer.

I went with the Monroe Load Adjusting Shocks instead. Dosen't start squatting until about 1500lbs tongue weight
