Note that the rear leaf springs on (some? all?) E series chassis of that vintage are rather flat by design, and appear on casual inspection to go straight on a slight diagonal rather than having much or any obvious smile shape.

If the shocks are worn, it would be a good idea to replace them as well. A weak or worn shock is going to allow the suspension to bottom out more easily on a sudden transient than a new one (among other things). The rear shocks are not hard to replace on the Ford E series unless the motorhome builder has done something silly to limit access.
