That doesn't even look like part of the leaf spring to me......maybe something a PO added to stiffen up the ride?

Its a helper leaf. The rear was probably sagging.

in the top pic, do I see a hole where it bent? That hole is probably supposed to be in the pack on the centering pin. Looks like an old cobbled together fix.

Almost like someone tried to make a set of overload springs

You guys are right, I don't know why I didn't see that they were overload springs of some sort. These were on one I was looking at but have since decided to pass on.

Thanks for responding and educating me
