How Common?

Just looked under my new to me Ex, and the front springs are completely collapsed, theres no room to the stopper:/ Rides like an 80's 1 ton...LOL

Its a 01 7.3 4X4...177k

Well its a good excuse to do the V/B/hellwig set up now , just wondering if that is common for them to be completely gone like that?

Oh, and been reading this site for about a week, theres so much great info here, nice work and thanks for all the help so far!!

If you've been reading about the V/B swaps I'd say you probably have a good idea already. My recent purchase has about 3/4" to the stops on one side and the other side is gone. They've got a slight downward bow to them. I haven't felt them hit yet so I plan to let them go as long as I can.
