Default lowering problems

i put my lowering kit on yesterday, but it was way to low for me and the front was sticking up, so i decided today to put the stock ones back on and just cut the bushings. When i went to put the blots on they didnt go all the way through, and it looks like the spring bent or something, Im not sure.

Whare are you jacking it up from? Jack it up by the aluminum cradle under the differintal. If you jack it up from only one side the sway bar will hold the wheel/suspension up(compresed). The back must rase evenly to let both wheels hang. If that still doesn't do it, have some one pull down on the wheel.
