I'd call this an "aftermarket tire pressure indicator" ...if you get a flat tire you'll hear the bolt scraping on the pavement.... 
Honestly, I'm most worried about the tire flexing under hard cornering.... then the 1/2" between tire and spring won't be enough....

If I hit a 3" deep pothole just right so that the tire falls in but not the rest of the suspension and I am going fast enough to do damage, then the bolt will be the least of my worries.
My situation is not perfect but I keep an eye on the situation. I don't baby the car. Sidewall flex has not been an issue. The photo lokks worse than it really is due to the angles and the light.

I bought a 7 leaf from Zip. I thought it was too low, as it actually lowered the car from my stock 9 leaf. When the car is at rest, the spring is STRAIGHT across the bottom. I always thought there should be SOME arc to it...
