There are bump stops attached to the frame for the overload springs. You can see in the pictures where the top leaf has a worn spot from all the years the rubber has made contact.
Note: When I installed my overload springs, they were an inch or so away from the bump stops. Now that my truck has the bed, fenders, bumper,.. installed, the leaf is only a 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the rubber stop. After I installed the bump stops, I tried to adjust the overload springs so both ends were equal distance from the stops.
