Did Ford change Rear Suspension on 2011 4x4 supercrew

Did they switch the rear leaf setup from 2010 to 2011?

I have a 2010 Platinum and it has 4 leafs total (3 long leafs and 1 short leaf). I just looked under a 2011 and it has 3 leafs (2 long leafs and one short)total plus a shim and a block. I lifted My truck so I cant remember. Im just not happy with the height of the rear and I am wondering if ProComp sent the wrong year block, idk. My 6" kit came with 4" block and .5" shim. If my truck had a stock block, That means I only got like 3" of lift and I dont like it.

Pics of stock 2010 rear suspension anyone?

My 2010 4X4 has a rear block between the leaf springs and the axle.

I think that the ones with factory 20" wheels had that extra leaf.
