Sorry for the confusion its just more difficult to describe all this in text. The issue before the suspension overhaul was very small and from the eyes perspective the car sat level but very low.

About the "carrying height", as you and the manual state for the rear measurement "rear spring height and for all except S.W.' it should = 5 13/16" to 6 9/16". Well I did this measurment and the readings were in the 7" low side and 8"+ high side range. I can live with the extra height but the unevenness is as you know is what bugs me.

Front measurements with the welding rod were 12 1/2" and 12 3/8".

I will try what you suggested and look at the front more closely and post back here. Thanks for the headsup.

I had no spacers in the front or rear and as for the original springs - bad luck but the rears got tossed and the fronts - well they are collecting dust in the garage.
