I know what you mean by thinking that your springs are too long. I just installed my TCI kit and had a very hard time just installing the springs. I called TCI and they told me about a trick using a ratchet strap to hold the frame down and it worked. As you can see, I also don't yet have any weight on the frame, but I can't see how weight will help, it looks as though when the springs compress they will bind and there will be no movement at all. Once when I talked to TCI they said that most all springs need to be cut at least 1/2 coil, probably 1 full coil before it works out the best.
