Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me.

the new truck, c10 LWB, has a spring on top of the rear axle that i have never seen before. it has the normal leaf springs mounted with hangers and shackles, and then there is this little coil spring that also is mounted to the axle. i was just going to see if anyone else has seen this, and if so want kind of option was it.

It's aftermarket.  It is for extra load.
