Leaf springs

Can someone tell me what the difference is between the bent and straight leaf springs? Here's the pic of the bent one on a 53 frame.

Re: Leaf springs

looks like some one took a torchm heated them up & bent them to lower the truck. Doesn't look factory & I don't think it's a real good way to lower a truck.
