Leafs look flat AF...

I've noticed my leaf springs look pathetic all of a sudden, and I'm wondering if it's always been like this or mine are shot?

They seem to be flat with a bend down near the front. Something tells me that's not supposed to happen.

They should look like a u not an n, right?!

I've had NO heavy loads in the truck and I'm only at 14,500 KM, 2018 DCSB OR.20190501_193458.jpeg20190501_193400.jpeg20190501_193321.jpeg
 
I have the same truck, except mine is long bed. Just shy of 6K miles and my springs don't dip in the front. Oh, my truck is automatic if that matters.
Thanks for letting me know.

I'll be taking a peek at the other Tacoma's on the lot when I'm there too. It looks broken, but I want to be sure.
 
The website states that OME Dakar Springs part # EL095R provide approximately a 2" lift on a 16+ Tacoma.

How does that compare to how the Taco comes from the factory?

And if it's higher, what has to be done to the front to level everything out?
Sorry, I should've been more clear... I've been buried in books and finals and a forty something page business plan... brains getting fried...
Yes, I was trying to persuade someone into lifting their truck. [emoji23]
A bilstein 5100 adjustable shock for the front seems to be the most favorable cheap option to get 2.5-3" out of the front... here's my front tho... just 2" of lift.
