Brothers Trucks 60-72 SUBURBAN-Panel 4" drop springs REVIEW.

I ordered a set of the 4" Suburban drop springs. When they came, I thought they forgot to ship one in the box as the box was VERY light. They were smaller than any drop springs I had ever ordered. I immediately emailed Brothers speaking with the sales manager and he said what I had was correct. I expressed my concerns about the size of them and the light duty appearance of the product saying there is NO WAY this will support the rear of a Suburban but maybe a Camaro. Before installing, I once again made contact with Brothers VIA the phone this time and re expressed my concerns, I was once again told they were correct and this guy actually went and looked at them in the warehouse. Well, this weekend we put them in. As I lowered the Suburban on the ground, it kept going down...4 inches 5 inches, 6 inches, finally stopping at 6.5 inches....oh yea...resting on the bump stops. I dare say if i removed the bump stops it would probably be sitting on the axle. I compared it to one of my trucks with 5" rear drop springs and it has 2" to go before hitting the stops. 4 inches of drop should leave me with 2+ inches of travel and not sitting on the frame/axle/bump stops. I emailed Brothers today so Im interested to see what they say and how this can be resolved.

Has anyone else tried these springs?
