Default LEaf Springs

How can you tell when your leaf springs are gone such that you need new ones cause i have the factory ones and that would make them around 10 years old

and also roughly how much do they cost

You're probably looking at less than 200 bucks for the springs.

you might just want to add a helper spring or AAL and call it a day.

Not sure but I think the truck would be sagging if they were bad and your suspension would bottom out easier under less of a load. 10yrs isn't all that old. How hard do you work them?
