Umm....lower the other side with Bus-Boys lowering kit?  ;)

Look at your old replacement coolant line receipts and say to yourself,
"This ain't so bad."  ;)

I have this sag too.... maybe we can trade springs from opposite sides? ;p
(I take the passenger side ones from your's... okay? ;) )

Obviously, I don't have any good answers but I'd definitely shop around 
for other opinions.
