Hi Janet and David
Those springs definitely look overloaded. To put some actual numbers to this, you should measure “loaded spring arch height”. See this thread for further discussion and particularly the attachments to post 5. https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operation/suspension-amp-brakes/17604-grand-design-lippert-design-criteria-suspension-travel-minimum-clearance

Well my garage currently is my living room so it only has a sofa, a TV, and a mini fridge. We plan to put a toy in there next year so there's no way for me to weigh it with that in there. But if it can't handle my living room furniture then I can't imagine what's going to happen when I put a toy in there! I will try taking those measurements shown on the link you sent me to

1. Load too heavy
2. Springs not properly specified by the manufacturer (Springs too small).
3. Defective Spring Material.
You are running pretty empty for a toy hauler, so I'd suspect #2 or #3.
