Sagging leafs
My rear leafs are still the stock leafs (2000 taco). I know these are notorious for being flat, but I am a little concerned about these. the passenger side is very flat but at least still physically together and linear, the driver's side, however, seems to have some space between leafs and the overload leaf is off center, its like it has spun about 10 degrees horizontally and is not longer in line with the rest. how normal do these look? i have a Chevy spring swap, meaning i have the leafs, the mounts, shackles, etc, theyre just not put on right now. would you all recommend putting on the Chevy's right now or do these stock ones have some life left?
sorry for the bad picture quality, i took these with my camera phone at the gas station. i can get better ones if need be.

your leaf pack can spin like that when you flex hard
as for daylight between them if you have those anti friction pads on the leafs then you would have a small gap between leafs

so its not really anything i need to be worried about replacing? if i were to swap in the Chevys anyway on my own accord, could i take the packs apart and line them up again on my own with simple tools?

you might be able to take the weight off them and just beat them back in place with a BFH.
like you say its hard to see how out of whack they are with your craptasic pics
