Either you left the jackstands under the car or didn't index the springs properly.

Look almost like there isnt a motor in there!! Did you compare the new springs to the old springs when you took them out?

There are indentations that the spring fits into on the control arm. if you don't get it in the right place you can get the 4x4 look.

drive it around first, they might actually "pop" into place. I drove my car around after i was done big POP sound, i guess it was the spring adjusting itselt. Anyway my springs are not perfectly indexed between the holes, but they both sit equal about an inch lower(front). I have pro-kit.

This might help, Ed Miller has some good pictures of where the indexing holes are in the A-arms for the front springs. Scroll about halfway down the page to see them:
