I highlighted your issues in red. I've never been happy with Chinese Produced Products.

I think you are on point, I walk out in the morning and it just keeps settling further and further. I have coils in the rear completely collapsed and laying on the trailing arm.

Yep those springs are crap... on the bright side new set of quality springs aren’t that much money and they may give you the ride and height you’re looking for. The expensive alignment is a bummer though.

www.earlyclassic.com You won't be disappointed again.

I had the 4.5/6.75 drop on my truck before with ECE parts on 17" tires. I never had any real complaints with ride or handling. Due to the nature of driving a lowered truck, there were certain speed bumps and driveways I had to be careful on, but no more than with a car of any sort.
