Default Alignment Question?

Ok so i just recently installed a new k member from UMI and when i put it all back together and put it back on the ground it is sitting really low. It looks like it is slammed but its always been at factory ride height. And i just want to know if it will go back to factory ride height when i get it aligned?

Or could it be that my front springs are shot?

Alignment doesn't really affect ride height, aligning changes frozen caster if needed, camber I needed and toe (most important) and dog tracking adjustments. Just my thought though someone will disagree
