Where are you measuring your droop settings? On the 6.1 arms it's a bit confusing because of the molding, but you should measure it right underneath the hinge pin on the bottom of that small hex shaped flange on the arm and the front underneath the hinge pin screw small flange as well. If done this way, your springs should not be loose. Unless of course, maybe your tires are high profile? This could cause this problem.
In addition, droop should always be set with the shocks off the car, as in the Olly J article in order to be more accurate. It can be done with the shocks on the car, but it is harder to be accurate.
