Hello, I have a question regarding the leaf springs. On my truck the curve of the springs is opposite of the true curve. Are the leaf springs bad or is this from the shocks?

Thanks

Clint

Not sure if this is what you are meaning but if they are stock springs they will have a negative arch. Depending on other wear of the suspension components that could be what you have going.

Yes. Front springs are negative arch with weight on them.
