Leaf springs- does this look right?

Default Leaf springs- does this look right?

I recently had new shocks installed and the ride seems off. Here's a photo of the back end. Is it just me or are the leaf springs wrong?

Look like typical H3 rear leafs to me. What shock did you go with?

Ah.... I know some people on HF have those and like them. When I bought my 09 Alpha the previous owner had those on it. The first day I drove it I said to myself, this thing rides like chit! It was a southern truck, the shocks looked pretty new, but hard to tell how old when they only saw southern roads (no road salt). This is just my humble opinion, I am not an official shock tester.

Replaced all 4 with Old Man Emu Nitro Chargers........... I am super happy with those. Rides like my old 07 with the OEM Adventure shocks and great for wheeling.

Great... Hopefully I can return them. Only been a week. Should I be feeling every single bump in the road?

Very impressive, since she has been buried since 2011.
