TRANNY QUESTION

Hey all...I have a 2014 F350 XL 6.2 4x4 with 4:30 gears. I recently noticed a delay while starting to drive from a stop. I'll hit the gas and there's a few second delay until the truck starts to move. Is this my tranny slipping? I also just noticed one of the rear helper leaf springs is not inline with the rest. I think it was an oilfield truck. Wondering if it was maybe overloaded/abused? Any insight or advice is appreciated, Thanks.

If the engine speeds up and the truck isn't moving, it's slipping. If it just doesn't go but the engine doesn't race high the problem is in the engine, not the trans.
