Correctly installed front/rear - not reversed?

Old suspension may have sagged so difference might not be as noticeable.

What are the new height measurements at the seam welds?

Also...did you tighten everything back up under load or in the air?

Make sure you loosen things off a bit before re-tightening it all with the car on the ground.
