It sounds to me like your paperwork is incomplete.

After you get them installed, I'd lift the truck up slowly and see how much it wants to stretch those bags. If it seems like too much, then I'd lift the truck by the axle as often as possible from here on out.

Yea that's what I'm thinking too. I think it would be pretty easy to just put a ratchet strap around the axle and frame to keep it from going to full droop if I'm going to have it on a lift for a while. Thanks again!

Pretty much what I suggested way above except not so temporary for if a mechanic had to work on the truck & didn't do it & tore your bags.......Or if you forgot.....Or if somewhere (side of the road? friends house?) & didn't have a ratchet strap around to use.....
