Default Rear leaf spring?

I kind of already know the answer, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Would you guys say these rear leaf springs are shot? It looks to me likes the springs are almost bending the wrong way, like they lost their arch.

Should I get heavy duty or just stock replacement?

I went with dual action springs, have a helper spring when you need it but don't ride as hard at the heavy duty. I did a lot of research and that seems to be the consensus. I like the ride, have not yet installed rear seat (this spring!). I believe I got them from the site sponsor, Golf Cart King.

Oh no, decisions to make Thanks. I'm figuring since I'm using it for hunting and maybe driving around the property, the dual action would be the way to go. Not to stiff a ride and I'll have that extra spring if I put a deer on the back

Yeah, I knew I should have just gone with my gut on this one lol! I just ordered a new set of the dual action springs from Golf Cart King. My cart was sitting nice and level, now its probably going to higher in the back. Maybe I need front springs too. It's never ending.

Fun decisions to be sure!! I used an electric impact driver, the first side took about 2.5 hours, second side about 30 mins!, I also changed the shocks, (just standard replacements) cuz they weren't terribly expensive and were also 20 years old. I verified it was Golf Cart King, 2 shocks, 2 bushing sets and one set of springs, like $185. Have Fun!

Thanks. Springs with bushings were $125.00 shipped. I already put in brand new shocks and a lift kit, so the old springs should come out very easy.
