Sorry, none on my press.  All-in-one hydraulic jack unit.

One easy way to check springs, at least leaves. is to simply stand on the
spring and measure the deflection from body weight.
I've done a lot of leaf springs this way.  Or for a loaded spring rate, add
several hundred pounds of weight over the axle you
want to measure and record the sag.
