By "too high" I meant for my tastes, not that it sits higher than a stocker should.

This is the stock OE height:

I refuse to accept that is stock height and not saggy 40 yr old springs

Maybe the drive side is sitting in a hole in the first photo

Here's my version with standard eye springs in the rear...and a 1 inch lower block

With 255 50 17 tires (quite tall) and then with 275 40 17 (not quite so tall)...and yeah I know the angles aren't exactly the same...
