New rear leaf springs - installation?

[orlowted]

Well - the springs are in with new bolts, poly bushings and shackles...the only problem is that the car sits about 2-3 inches lower in the rear than it did before I did the swap. I did not use any blocks or spacers because I thought the heavier springs would raise it up a bit. I even used the higher mounting hole on the shackle. Now the front sits higher than the rear...Not quite the look I was going for. I must admit though..the rear is tight as as can be which is what I wanted. Any thoughts...Should I lower the front or jack up the rear. I am still puzzled why the old 4 leaf springs were so much higher???
