Yes I can answer this question. But I was looking for other opinions.The roof is also been striped down to the trusses. Just looking for opinions.

If the sag is at the bottom, you might want to add a beam acrooss the bottom of the trusses, and provide vertical support posts from the floor up to the beam. If sag is at the top, but the trusses are the correct size for the span and live/dead loads, you can add vertical supports between the bottom chords and top chords. Check with a truss manufacturer or structural engineer.

First check the code to insure the truss size and spacing is within the code. If not you should add truss(es). If it is within code then the roof material is too thin.
I would span the trusses and reroof with thicker material.

if it is sagging already it maybe to late you may need to remove all the roofing and either add more trusses or maybe add laterail nailers in between the trusses
