Anyone else having problems with new MII alignment?

The suspension and engine have been in the frame for over a year so I thought the springs would settle by now but they have not. This is a TCI Mustang II front end. I'm about ready to take it for the first drive in the next week or two but how?



The driver side is bad but nothing as bad as the passenger side. I called the place I bought the kit from and they said this is a common question and that the springs will settle after driving the truck a little bit. He said to throw some old tires on the truck and just drive it. HUH?!!!

Pic of passenger control arm:



A friend who stopped by yesterday agrees there is no adjustment left in the control arm and thinks I might have to lengthen them. See how the control arms are at an angle?

Springs:



The springs seem too tall and I say that because they're bowed in the middle. I just don't see them settling that much.

Any advice?
