Leaf Springs?

How can you tell if you need new leaf springs, is there a way to look at it or what. I'm not sure if I need new or not. A friend at an autoshop told me I did but I what a second opinion.

Thanks John

I had put a set of booster shocks in the rear many years ago to try and lift the rear. It helped some. Last year I had the leaf springs replaced at my local mustang shop. For the first time in 26 years, the rear sits as high as the front, and without the booster shocks.
