Default leaf springs

OK so my rear leaf springs on my 00 f150 4x4 decided to fan out I have been all over the web to try and find an understandable fix so does anyone know of a patch job that will work until I can find some new ones?

If you mean they have spread out to the left and right, you can hammer them back in line and use heavy hose clamps to hold them in place. Spreading usually when the U-bolts holding the spring to the axle are loose, so I'd tighten the bolts as well. BTW there is a steel band on the spring pack. If it's missing that's you problem. If the springs aren't sagging you just need to make some new bands.
