I dont know if the previous owner had a few fat girlfriends, but my passanger side rear spring has gotten to the point it rides on the bump stop whenever I have even a small skinny person on that side. So yeah.. They do.

I don't know the answer for sure but I assume that any spring will fatigue over time. You can still get a pair of front springs from SLP for $25
