And some of these springs do require trimming to achieve final ride height once they have been given a chance to settle for a few miles.

I would say 98 % of you problems will go away when you have full weight on the front suspension. Your lower control arm should be parallel with the bottom of crossmember. Top arm should be above the top hat, this will change the angle of the arm, ball joint and spindle. I don't have access to pictures now to show what I'm talking about. If you go to my build thread and back about 4 pages from last page I switch over to coil over and the pictures there might help...Jim
