New drop springs too high

I know this question has been asked before and, before you flame me, I searched and read through numerous threads but didn't quite get the answer I was looking for.

I have a 1968 LWB with a small block V8 and 3 speed automatic. This past weekend, I installed new 3" drop coils in the front and 5" drop coils, shock relocators and a super track bar kit in the rear (CPP). The rear drop looks perfect but the front end is sitting too high (like an inch or more). I know the issues with old springs and settling but these are new springs all around and, with a 3" front and 5" rear, it should sit pretty level. The springs are seated properly and I have driven the truck over speed bumps to make sure. Can someone help me... What is the settle in time and how much do you think they might settle?
