[QUOTE="Jakenbake, post: 1462404, member: 25145"] I’ll admit that I have not read this entire thread and I just want pose some comments. For the leaf springs to yield from one single event, they would have to deflect enough to reach that point. So if the truck has bumps stops (factory or otherwise) would the springs be able to deflect far enough to do so? Second theory is that they are fatigued. Do we believe that they have seen enough cycles to meet that criteria? Personally I would think the bump stops would prevent the over load damage unless they were damaged too. Also looking at the pictures it looks like it could be an optical illusion that they are bent/sagging. Someone with photoshop might be able to separate the leafs in the photos to see if they are sagging or it is an optical illusion. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
