Home made lower stable loads?
K so I'm cheap (haha sorry I'll annoy whoever posted their cheap rant, lol) and don't really feel like drilling my springs for a positive attachment. (Ok more lazy than cheap drilling spring steel ups...

I think they'll be up to the job, but given some of the concrete roads around here (WA), I wouldn't be confident that they wouldn't be spit out. Worth a try, though. If you lose one, you can try clamping it to the spring pack instead. Good luck.
Ya, I'm certain they will work well if I can get them to stay put.
Was thinking same thing about clamping but rather clamping something behind the thick end as they'll run out almost to the end of the overload leaf. A stop to keep them from sliding out but can't think of anything clever or easier than just sucking it up and drilling a hole in each spring.
Except, if I got like 3/8" dia square u bolts I could do a similar notch in the thick end of the plastic and clamp the snot out of them with that. Another thought was rough up one side of the plastic and epoxy them down to the overload before hose clamping.
But if I'm doing all this then drilling 4 holes in the springs won't take any longer and will be a positive connection.
Will update after I put them in and take a test run.
