How do I tell if I need to replace leaf springs?

I have a SPOA lift with stock leaf springs front and rear, along with some cheapo shocks. Samurai rides very rough (which they all do, right) and I was thinking maybe I replace the leaf springs with new ones and upgrade the shocks. Leaf springs appear to be flat, i.e. no curve to them. Thoughts?

Interested and also have the same desire to improve my ride quality with existing SPOA kit

The two main reasons for replacing your leaf springs (not saying their aren't more reasons)
  • Springs are bent
  • improve the ride
