'01 sd front springs sagging

I'm not sure if this is a problem or if I have just never noticed it before but the front leaf springs on my '01 f250 psd look to be sagging. If you look at them from the side they look more like a hill than a valley. In other words the two ends where bolted to the shackles are lower than the center where it sits on the axle housing. Is this normal? I have about 230,000 miles on it.

Your springs are sagging. Mine were looking like that, so I put on the X-code springs. The x-code springs brought up my front end 1 1/2".

Mine arent completely past the center but it looks like they're almost there, maybe that's finally an excuse to get the add-a-leaf?

Will sagging springs affect the ride of the truck any?
