how much life out of used 52" rear springs repurposed up front?

[K30Blazer]

I am starting to notice a lean to my truck of about an inch on the driver side and couldn't trace what it could be. I took some measurements of my 52" springs up front and they seem like they are starting to sag. Been about two years since I swapped them from the front to the back. I am planning on ORD springs when I do a swap but was hoping to get some more life out of them. What has been everyone elses experience?

Is it a pickup with saddle tanks? Mine was leaning about 2 inches to the passenger side until I realized my passenger tank was full bur the other was not! I put a cell in back until i do a blazer tank. Hope it helps

1-2 trips in my experience, but they got worked fairly hard.

Has anyone done this purely for the ride quality? Im thinking this is the route and might just level out my diesel??? I dont need extreme.. also its free..

I personally have been impressed with them. The flex is crazy but the ride isn't too bad. Just get some good shocks.

Should be fine if you keep the sway bar. The front is way too soft after 52 swap.

I have no sway bar. Mine is listing

Anyone actually use new 52s and get an answer on life expectancy?
