Stock front leaf pictures?

Hi, does anyone have any pictures they could post up of a stock front suspension. Im fairly new to trucks and it looks like my stock front leafs are sagging. I thought they should curve some but they are pretty much straight. Also the shocks on my truck have been blown for awhile also I believe. Would driving on blown shocks fatigue the leafs to be this way or is it normal for them to be pretty much horizontal?
Thanks,
Halvor

stock front springs sag a lot. My 3 inch lift leaf packs barley have an arch to them.

The stock fronts have a negative arch. Normal (especially after a number of years) would be for them to be flat or arch slightly down. The front springs hold up pretty well (i.e., maintain their arch). The rears sag the most and usually make the rear end sit low compared to the front. If you are sticking with a stock setup, it would be more likely for you to do something with the rears, not the fronts.
