Re: How flat should loaded leaf springs be?

Hmmm... well they're definitely not reversed. The fronts actually have a little arch to them, but the P/O added some leaves to it I think, to make a home-brewed lift.

I'm more concerned with the rears. Below are some shots of the right-rear, with a jack stand under the axle (bearing the weight of the truck).

The pack as a whole doesn't seems reversed at all, but the ends of the main leaf seems iffy to me. You can kind of see it in the second pic. Just don't know if I should be comfortable cleaning and painting these, or if I'm better off looking for a replacement set.

Thanks!
