Help: Leaf spring?

Is this ok or should I replace these?

The other side lines up flush against the spring eye bolt but the passenger side leaf springs look like a different set. I think the PO installed new ones at some point. As part of the restoration process, I separated the leaf springs so I could have them sand blasted and painted. I put them back together and this what I noticed. I'm not sure if it was like this before.

Re: Help: Leaf spring?

I'd say replace. Can you take it by a local spring shop to have them look at it? Won't brake the bank if so, they are reasonably priced I feel. Make sure you do it in pairs! If they are original, you'll prob gain a touch of ride height b
