W126 300SD sits high in front

I changed the sub frame supports in Blanche. I have to feel that I'm better for doing it, however I will NEVER do that job again. Wish I would have had a video of my 73 year old mother out in high heels and a long skirt out working the hydraulic jack with me cursing the bolt.
Now the ride height is better in the rear. I'm going to replace the differential support this weekend which should help further. The front still sits REAL high, or it looks high when I park it next to other 126 cars. The front end feels real "tippy" at speed and vibrates between 60-70, but just sporadically. I am going to assume this is tires, which I will replace soon. Can the alignment affect this? As I said, it seems better after the sub frame replacement, but it looks like it sits too high. The previous owner installed Monroe shocks...they will be replaced SOON, but I wouldn't think they would make it sit higher. I'm taking it on a couple of trips during the holidays, so I'd like to get it driving right.
