Need some direction
On an 81 can someone tell me how much you cut from a coil spring to lower it per 1/2 inch
after my TPI swap and front end rebuild the front end for some reason sits WAY to high. Looks like it needs to be lowered at LEAST 2 inches to get it level

Had the same "problem" with my 80 after I swapped out front end components. Found that I didnt seat the springs correctly. Needed to rotate them to fit the base of the lower A arm. Not sure that is your problem but.

I put a '94 LT1 in my '81 (about 100 lbs lighter) and didn't notice any change in ride height. I can't imagine your TBI swap should have made much of a change in weight and 2" is a lot. If you removed the springs during your rebuild, I would agree with JustForFun.
