Leaf spring warn or ok?

Hello guys. I plan with in the next night or to to go look at a set of F350 spring for my rsk swap. I just want to know if there anyway I can measure the springs and see if there shot. I think I remember reading something somewhere.

I don't think you can measure them unless they're mounted on the truck or have a load on them. Whenever I've changed out worn springs for new springs, they were very close in measurements when they were laying on the ground next to each other. When they were installed on the truck with a load, the difference was easy to see. That's been true of both coil and leaf springs.

100 bucks is a good price. Probably worth the gamble IMO.
