Rule of thumb is that, assuming the shackles are properly greased, the clearance between the bottom of the front spring shackles and the top of the front axle should be at least 1/4". This provides enough clearance that, in normal operation, the shackles won't contact the axle. If it's less than 1/4" then the spring may be worn out. If the shackles are resting on the axle then they're definitely worn out.
