The present invention is directed to a cushioned stop, and a cushioning assembly for use therein wherein the cushioning assembly includes a base, a carriage, and a spring assembly. The carriage is coupled to the base to move relative to the base between a forward position and a rearward position. The spring assembly includes a spring rod having a threaded segment, an adjustment nut having threads engageable with the threaded segment to couple the nut to the spring rod, and a spring operably coupled to the nut and the carriage to create a bias force. The bias force urges the carriage toward the forward position when the nut engages the threaded segment. The nut is axially movable along the rod to a released position out of engagement with the threaded segment to eliminate the bias force.
