DIY Stable Loads?

I have a 2008 Chevy SRW 1 Ton.
I'm thinking of making my own version of Stable Loads - something to take up the space between the regular stack of leaf springs and the overload spring.
I've read a couple of older posts about guys making them for their Fords. Has anyone made these for the Chevy leaf springs?
I've looked at the new Stable Load design and that's one approach. Just wondering if anyone has done something else.
Photos?

Bob,

Doug over on the Lance Owners forum http://www.lanceowners.org/ has made some for his Chevy and he likes how they work.

On my to-do list.

If you can't get to his post let me know, I'll forward his pictures to you.

I don't have a Chevy, but I bought energy suspension bump stops. You should be able to do similarly.
