2/4" Drop, Doesn't Look Level

1969 CHEVY SWB: Just put on a BellTech Drop kit, 2" Drop Springs Front, 4" Drop Springs Rear with Shocks. Was thinking it would Lower it & Level It, since the stock ride height is usually 2" higher in the rear. Well, it looks higher in the front, and if I measure from the ground to bottom of the front fender well (which I think is how you measure, don't know if the wheel wells are supposed to be the same height, front & rear) I get 30.5" and the rear comes in at just about 29"
Really hate to put the rear spacer 1" that came with kit to raise the rear (looks good where it's at) but really don't want to buy and put on another drop spindle kit either... all I can find is basically a 3" which may be to much.

Question: Am I measuring right?, if I measure from the ground to bottom of the truck (behind front wheel well & front of rear wheel well) it's real close to the same. Optical Illusion?? Need to get that right stance

Anybody done this Drop???
