Do these springs look tired, 87 4x4.

Neverminding the 28.7 inch tall 235/75 tires. How does this look? I notice the front springs are inverted beyond flat but read thats normal?

The truck was well taken care of.

I am about to go through the truck tuning it up and trying to tread lightly and be minimal.

I have some 31x10.50s coming though and will be in the steering for anything worn so want to do it right.

Looks normal to me.

My stock springs (with new shocks and shackles):

One note I'd like to make though is make sure your spring eye isn't touching the frame. Mine had rotted all the spring bushings so bad that without them the rear spring eye (at the shackle) was actually resting on the frame. It actually started wearing a flat spot in the frame there.

Stock length shackles?

They are a 1/2" longer. GM started making them longer in 1988-1991 on the Blazer and Suburban to prevent the spring from hitting the frame.
