2 - 4 drop looks odd - need help

So after having all my new suspension parts sitting around Ive managed to get everything bolted on.

All parts were ordered from CPP

Front:

2" drop coils
sway bar
shocks
ball joints and tie rods

Rear:

4" drop coils
sway bar
shocks
adjustable trac bar

Everything went in alright but the rear looked lower than it should have been.
I had a bunch of junk in the bed so figured that was the reason but alas, no change when emptied.

The stance is plain goofy. Im assuming I have either the wrong front or wrong rear springs. Or something is just plain wrong....

The top of the front tires are right around 4" from the fender lip.
The top of the rears are within an inch of of the fender lip.

Tires are 235/75/15

I would like to have the front about 2" lower and there is no way Im ordering another set of springs for $100 and $200 shipping.... should I cut the front coils? should I put the old rear springs back in even though I tossed the old shocks?

Something needs to change.

I know a pic is worth its weight in gold but I dont have one yet of the parts installed. Looking for a little advice, shed some light.

All the pics I can find on a 2-4 drop still show a slight rake toward the front.

Thanks.

Mike
