Default Leaf Spring question

So my leaf spring seem to be getting a little weak, where the springs mount to the axle has a bit of a curve to them, only the opposite way as normal, so my leafs have a bit of an "S" shape to them. not major, just slightly. Also, when I put anything in my bed or even an empty trailer, the rear sags a lot. even when it isn't much weight.

Now here's my question, my truck is a 1997 supercab, I have a wrecked 2001 screw at my parents house. I was wondering if the leaf springs off the screw would fit on an older supercab? If they would directly swap over or what. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

They should be a direct swap, pull the out by the shackles so that you don't have to cut bolts (if you just take the springs, the bolt that connects them to the shackle will hit the frame). You could just get them re-arched and shove an AAL in there, or get F-250 LD springs. Do you have any lift on the truck?
