Should I replace the Leaf Springs?

Taking it to a shop that knows what they are doing is really the key..the trick is to know if the person looking really does know. The only way to determine is to take it to several. They will need to do the springs, no question, but the suspension is an interesting mix of engineering know-how and seeing what's maybe bent or busted can take an experienced eye. A shop may suggest re-arcing....but I would think that at that age, the set of leafs should be swapped out for new. And the same number of leafs on each side, too.
