Too high in the front, back, or both? What springs did you install?

Front coils must be seated correctly in the spring pockets or the nose will be a mile in the air. I'm guessing yours might need to be turned a little.

Correct OEM springs will only make about a 1/2" difference. Poor quality aftermarket springs can be 3" off, not a rare problem.
