Default Question about stock leaf springs

I have a pretty stupid question about the stock leaf springs.

When the Jeep is parked on a flat surface, how much curve should there be in the springs?

Mine are basically flat.

The springs are pretty flat from the factory, but as they age they get even flatter, even inverting sometimes.. This is basically was leads to the back end sagging down as I'm sure you have noticed alot of XJ's with lower back ends...
