So i removed about 300 lbs from my car now that its lighter i put new springs in 9.5" fronts #925 rf #825 lf then 15" rears #225 lr #175 rr... With the weight jacks all the way up this thing is completely out of wack the rear is about 4" higher then the front.
With me in the car
The scale numbers are :
Rear-54.5%
Total- 3200
Bite- 125
With about 3gals in 16 gal cell

Are the rear springs just too tall?

Or did i miss something?

Rear too high looks like a stink bug with its butt in the air

Your rear springs are too tall. If your weight jacks mount to the stock spring mounts in the rear then a 15" spring will really jack the rear of the car up. You need some shorter rear springs.

or get some 7" steel tube and build yourself some buckets

what is the ride heights in front and what is the ride heights in the rear? If you bring the fronts up what will it do to your % ? But you made need to go to shorter springs in the rear. Your spring mount on the LR on the axle where is it located out in front, on top, or behind? If in front or behind you may be able to lower the mount on the axle to gain some drop. Then you can run a 15" on the left and a 13" on the right rear.

I havent adjusted the fronts they are currently bottomed out (as low as can be) i would say i can turn it least 2 inches which ill prob do... The spring mount on rr is half on half off to the rear on rr and same to the front on lr...
