Using the pic above as an example, you wouldn't really have the room to put 1 u bolt in front of and 1 behind the bearing surface on the bump stop, but with the legs of the u bolt facing up, as long as there was sufficient distance between the main leafs and the overloads, under max load, for the thickness of the bolts to clear (5/16-3/8") you could just slap 1 or 2 on it with the strap on the u bolt on top of the rubber.
I didn't search hard, was a quick project before a trip, but my u bolts are about an inch wider than the springs which is not ideal. If you had bolts just wide enough to fit over the springs it would be better for clamping force and keeping the pad or block from moving around laterally.
