And sears said my spindle was bent. I replaced all the ball joints too.

There was another piece of spring stuck in the top of the spring housing that's not in the picture. Truck sits a little higher now I guess the previous owner was a little hard on it.

Was the truck leaning or were both sides broken?

It had a lean. I heard strange noises but never saw anything broke until recently. Both ends broke, which I never saw until I took it apart. And recently it broke more towards the middle.
