Ditto, what did your original measurements come from? Apparently not this truck if it was 2" down in back.
As for why it is 7" now, how many leafs are in the leaf pack? This has A LOT to do with the amount of drop you get out of a 5" flip. Thicker leafs provide more drop. (Shocks have NOTHING to do with it as stated above) Secondly, yours appears to be the typical 6" drop in the rear.

As for the front, brand new coils will generally have to settle a little to get the full 3" drop. If you wanted it immediately, then you could have went with spindles. In my experience you will get more of you lost .5" in front after you drive it for a month.
