well i was under my 91 cherokee yesterday (had it just over a month now) i noticed the leaf springs had a slight downward curve just not sure if this is a good thing or not i've been thinking on replacing the rear shocks but need to know if springs are ok this poor thing has not been properly cared for in a long time

If your leaf springs look like a frowny face, it is time to replace them.

They should look like a happy face.

X2. If leafs are facing down there is nothing you can do other than replace them. Shocks will do nothing for the springs because they do not support any load.

There is a lot of info about doing the springs online. Depending on condition they can be a bear and there are ways around some of the issues if you look around, well worth it.
