1 ton leaf springs

I have leaf springs & auxiliary springs on my '72 1 ton. Are the auxiliaries supposed to rest against the bracket mounted to the frame when there's no load? Because mine are not. I'm wondering if after 37 years these springs need to be re-arched. Also, does anyone know the spec for the spring arch?

Re: 1 ton leaf springs

Thank you! Tomorrow morning I'm going to check in the light. I have to count the leaves in the auxiliary set. I may be missing some! Thanks again
