Default Newb spring advice?

Ok Pile on- I just bought my first Dodge- its an 07 3500 with the 5.9 and the glorious 48re... It's a 4X4 Quad SRW with short box SLT with 100K miles. My father in law bought it new so I have all the history, its bone stock, never tuned lifted or worked etc... Anyway my question is what should the rear springs look like? My FIL installed what appear to be heavy overloads and the thing rides like a brick! the RPO code for the stock rear spring is ZJRP (left) and ZXRP (right) I think the part number is 52121421AE. Problem is I have no idea what this stock one looks like to compare with what is there now. Ideally I'd like to return it to stock as all I will be hauling are 2 dirt bikes and a small travel trailer, FIL briefly had a truck camper and was advised to beef up the back springs for it which seems silly as it was very small. I have the factory build sheet which identifies all the heavy duty coolers for the towing package 3.73 ratio etc.
Des anyone have a photo of the stock spring? Thanks in advance, flame on...

Here's a pic of what the spring should look like. Gotta warn ya though, it's a one-ton truck, it IS going to ride like a brick. 1500 pounds of dirt in the bed though, and it'll ride much better.
