at least 500lb springs, if thats the max you can get. many prefer to be in the 750 range though

this.
500 is too light for our trucks, but its the most you can get with some coilovers.

they didnt give me a sheet with any info the guy that was doing the alignment came out and said there wasnt enough shims on the planet to set it i was told today by a friend that i shouldve gotten said sheet
the other thing that bothers me is i could see them not being able to do it if it was a 5/7 drop but its only a 3/3 so its not that extreme i have a set of tubular uppers to put on it

Yes they do and that's exactly what they are for. Shorter arms would also work, like the "right side" speedway arms which are a half inch shorter.

You should have got a sheet. That's not an alignment shop I would return to. This wouldn't happen on a 5/7 drop, I doesn't work like you think. Which uppers are you using?
