Replace them, it is easy and fairly innexpensive.

What Ty said or you could replace the plastic inserts that go between the springs.

turn up the radio just before you go over the bump.

If you dont mind pulling the springs off and apart you can run some teflon liner, that would probably give you a smoother ride too... Im gettin ready to rebuild my deavers Im about to put on, and I need to replace a few of the little sliders, maybe that would work on your stock springs.

If you shackles have a grease fitting you should try that first, its easy and could be the problem...

I have never come across any that were. They are bolted together in the middle.
