lowering bolts gone wrong???

[zr-1assassin]

i ordered a set of rear spring bolts from ecklers, just got them last week and installed them this weekend.......not good! the bolts are listed as having a 3.5 inch adjustment. well it must be all upwards the 3.5,i was looking at droping the azz about an inch or so. i dont know if something was off or what but that thing looked like it was 4-wheel drive. i extended them all the way out and it went to about stock level. i couldn't fuiger what was going on so i took them back off and put stock back on. anyone had this problem with these bolts?
