I'm going to rebuild front end soon and contemplating front spring replacement. I don't know if it needs it though. What are the signs?

Thanks

A sign of spring sag could be a drop in front end height. Probably not noticeable.

When you pull them to rebuild the front suspension, look them over.

Otherwise, clean them up, paint and reinstall.
