Lakewood Traction Action bars .vs. ride height

I installed a set and set them up according to instructions. For some reason my rear end sits a full 1" lower than the front. The only thing I did in the front was change the motor mounts and replace the front sway bar end bushing kit. What gives?

Wow, this was a long time ago.

I later found out that by turning the rear springs it raises or lowers the rear a bit. I probably just moved the springs while I was installing the traction bars.
