not sitting right

i have a question,on my 72 c10 2wd i purchased the truck with drop spindles on it and i am not sure how low they are.after installing 3 inch drop coils i noticed the bump stop on the drivers side already bottomed out and the pass side about 1 inch away.is this normal to have little to no travel in the suspension? the truck is going on the frame machine to fix the front drivers frame horn that is down 1 inch do you guys think this will fix the problem? thanks for the help.i would post photos but have no clue how to.

Re: not sitting right

a lot of people seem to have problems with the 3" drop springs bottoming out
