Default Rear Ride Height

My '74 L48 coupe had a recently rebuilt front end with poly bushings and new KYB gas shocks all around. Even before the rebuild my rear end seem to be riding lower than the front. Riding on 255-60-70 BF Goodrich, the tire to wheel well distace is greater in front the in the rears. How can I raise the rear end of the car to make it look "proportional" compared to the front.

The rear ride height is adjusted with the bolts going through the ends of the spring. You can get bolts that are threaded most of the way so you can set the height anywhere you want.

What is the ride height at? Front & Rear. Mesaure from the ground to the center of the wheel well lip. Your rear spring could be worn, thats why I ask.
