2008 Ford Ranger Leaf Springs

Suspension problem
2008 Ford Ranger 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I had to leave my truck in my sisters hands for about 8 months. She let her boyfriend have at it. He put 17000 miles in that time. He is a roofer. It's obvious this was his work truck. I took it to the dealer and they pointed out that the leaf springs where dispaced, confirming heavy even over loads. I can totally feel the difference in the truck. My fear is if I don't replace them they will where my back tires, overload my front suspensiojn, and strain my engine since it can't get the traction it needs. What should I be wottied about if att all?
