Based on your pictures it is too high. Did you install HD shocks in front? Were the replacement springs color coded and do the pads match the code on the springs based on your point score? Finally, did you tighten all suspension bushings with the front end under normal load, not jacked up? Mark

HD Shocks = Yes, had them on back in 2011 or so.

Color Coded = No color code on new springs.

Bushings were tightened under no load / jacked up. I think THAT might be the problem. I completely did not even think of it. What would be my next step in doing this properly?

A drive on lift is best but you can approximate this by jacking up the front of your car, removing the front wheels, loosening the upper and lower inner control arm nuts to the point where the rubber bearing can move freely, jacking up 1 lower control arm at a time with a floor jack that is positioned under the outer most part of the lower control arm (lower ball joint area) until the suspension will not compress any further but being careful not to knock your car off of the jack stands and then tightening all inner control arm nuts. Alternatively you can drive your car up on ramps and follow the above procedure (without removing the wheels of course) but have the front 2 seats occupied while tightening the CA nuts. Be careful!
