Springs worn out?????
First let me say I know almost nothing about leaf spring suspension. I do know there are different spring packs but that's about it.
My 2000 F250 has a spring set up on the front that is only 2 leafs and it looks to me like they are worn out. By this I mean it has enough droop that both ends are lower than were it contacts the axle in the middle. Am I wrong. Is this normal.
Approximately what would new front springs cost???? As I don't do a lot of hauling, towing, or off roading I wouldn't need anything aggressive.
Thanks,

The front leaf springs are pretty flat to start with, so at 300K, a "frowny face" curve is pretty normal - especially with that massive chunk of iron under the hood.
Unless it is bottoming, no real need to replace.

I agree and disagree. You may not "have" to replace them but when i replaced my droopy front leafs on my 04 the ride quality improved dramatically
