Question about suspension work
Hey all, I'm a bit of a newb but I've been lurking for a bit now. I recently acquired a late model 1959 F100 shortbed style side. VIN for those interested is: F10J9K20327. Other info is, WB: 110, Color: G, F10J, Date: 05M, Trans: A, Axle: 01.
I am in the process of doing some refurb on some of the truck and had a few questions about some suspension work. I have already replaced the shocks and just replaced the draglink and tie rod ends and noticed the difference immediately.
I already have replacement bushings and brackets for all of the leaf springs on my truck, how can I tell if they are really worth replacing?
If I do replace them, will I really even be able to notice?
Thanks ahead of time.

Yeah, I know, the wheels are ugly, I'm trying to remedy that.
