Did I Bend My Leaf Springs?

[SavageSierra]

2015 GMC Sierra Crew Cab Z71 4x4

I have hauled a lot of weight with this truck several times before, but last week i had to haul an 1800lb load and I think it may have damaged my leaf springs. The truck seems to sit a bit lower on the drivers side. I pulled the drivers side wheel off and the springs look like they may be bent/inverted in the spot right over the axle/block. Just wanted to know what you guys think, is this normal? I have also included pictures of the height from the overload springs to the normal springs on each side for comparison. The drivers side is the one where the pad sits closer to the spring (shady picture). The second picture is the best view.

Take it to your local spring shop.  They can either repack/rebend them or replace the pack and then give you the option of adding another leaf or two to handle those 1800 pound loads.

Thats what i was thinking. Does my spring look bent in the middle though?

In the second photo down it looks a little bit bent just above the block.  Perfect excuse for an upgrade.

To my untrained eye it does.  If memory serves, there should not be space between the upper springs.  I reckon that they're now unsprung.  However, I've been out that business for years and don't remember anymore.
