That is not bad at all. Most k-5's have a negative arch.

I was gonna say it looked ok to me, just from the pics. What makes you think something's wrong? Does the truck lean to one side or something? Is the spring a stock one or is it a lift spring... if it's a lift spring, who makes it?

ok thanks guys. just wanted to make sure it wasnt something major. umm it doesnt lean to one side but my right tire sticks out a little past my fender where as my left tire is flush with the left fender. its probably an alignment issue, but let me tell ya i need to start workin on gettin a commuter rig because my k5 likes to move all over while im on the freeway. hahhaha
thanks

they are 2.5" lift spring made by genuine suspension. im pretty sure it was a cheap lift thats probably why it is not so arched anymore
thanks

i pretty sure stock chevy springs can have some a negative arch some 40yrs down the road from when the truck was first made. Those look fine

those arent stock. stock leaves do have a negative arch in the front. about 2 inches of negative arch.

I wont hazard a guess as to the manufacturer, though. I dont know much anything about the truck.
