lowering spring help!
 
i bought 2" front and 4" rear lowering springs from ebay and a buddy is installing them on my 70 c10 the rear is right where it should be but the front end sits way too high (much higher than rear) does anyone know what could be the cause? wrong size?

Wrong size or your originals were so wore out

i thought a 2/4 sits fairly level so im assuming the fronts are wrong size. the back has a 3" space between tire and fender and rear has 5" space with new springs. the new front springs measure about 2" shorter than the ones that came off and the rears are 4" shorter than the rears that came off (the ones that came off were orig, ones)

sound like the wrong front spring ..... or front not seated properly. I just finished mine, 5 1/2 front 7 in the rear. came out with just a subtle rake
