    This post literally explains NOTHING. It just shows the diagram of the rear suspension parts and design.

    This...

    How about some explanation as to what you are seeing.

    I can say that the leaf springs them selfs suck at keeping their arch, but please say more...

    Well, even though the picture shows the leafs are flat, they are not flat from the factory.
    Not all of the diagrams are exact.

    Because the diagrams are not 3 dimensional and shows them from multiple views, in order to save page space and fit the entire setup in there I'm pretty sure that's why they made them flat.

    Exactly what you said.
