    Shouldn't affect the springs/eyelet. The diameter of the bolt does not completely fill the eyelet hole. It's more about clamping force on the sides of the leaf spring bushing sleeves.

    With that said I would replace them if they look suspect. You don't want that bolt to fail, could be catastrophic.

    Hi guys, need you input here. While jacking up the front to spray some penetrating oil, I can clearly see the driver’s side is sagging as seen in the picture. I think this is because the shock on that side is weaker and can’t hold the tire. Am I right or is there more to inspect?

    lifting from the center, more weight on that side of the truck (battery/gas tank/ steering column etc) Truck is going to want to naturally lean to that side.
