Need new front springs Ford F53

I brought my motorhome to the Ford F53 Commercial truck center in Texarkana because it was making a clunking sound when swaying side to side. They spent some time with the RV and then suggested new springs. They showed me how my springs are supposed to look in comparison to what they currently look like. They said I needed to replace the front springs. They are basically FLAT, (not arched). Their suggestion was staying with Ford factory designed springs.
Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated.

    I'm not sure I can help with the axle spring question but after just installing and driving on Sumo springs (assist springs) I would suggest that you look into that at the same time if you have the funds. I'm not sure that they can be installed instead of having to replace the chassis springs or not. It seems weird to me that the chassis springs would "flatten" out though.
