2008 Tacoma Leaf Spring Question

I picked up a 2008 Tacoma recently and was notified that it has an active leaf spring recall. The notice says 3pk and 4pk springs. This truck was lifted before I picked it up and has 5 leafs. How can I tell if these are the recalled springs or aftermarket? The only lettering I can find is an MX painted on one of them. You can see in the pictures what I have under the truck.
Thanks for any help!

You mentioned that you bought the truck with a lift. What you might have is a stock pack with an add-a-leaf to obtain a small lift.

I checked with Toyota and the overload is counted with the pack. I'm think you are right, there is an add-a-leaf in there to get the small lift.
Toyota is going to inspect it this week and let me know if they will cover it. Sounds like they will not cover anything if it's been modified at all.

I had a 2007 from new. The recall is just because the spring rate was too soft to be used as a truck. If it's working for your needs as it is I wouldn't worry about it.
