installed a 9bolt sits lower in the rear
 
ive noticed after doing the 9bolt swap that the car sits lower in the rear then it used to
the headlights used to be properly aimed level made a good pattern now the highway signs glow alot more then they used to lol

i re installed the springs and bushing like they came out

do the mounts sit lower on the 9bolt housing? do i need a thicker sized bushing for body to spring mount?
its not like i lowered the car 3 inchs or anything just like 1inch to an 1 1/2

i know it dosnt help that i already had alum heads upfront
it just wanst like this with the 10 bolt what did i do wrong?

There should be no difference in stance between the 9- and 10-bolt if you reassembled correctly using the same parts.

Rear springs are indexed too, kif they are eeversed they ca will sit differently. Rotate the 180 and see what happens

The springs are indexed in the insulator, but I don't believe that will make any difference in how the car sits once they're in place. There is no indication in my shop manual that indexing on the rear is required. At any rate, I've had mine in and out many times without issue.
