Car lifted higher in front now that I put all new suspension in?

[Hotboi_916]

So I replaced all my front suspension parts with stock control arms,end links ,tie rods,..etc...I also installed a 1998 GMC Jimmy red spindle and converted to dual piston brakes..but after all of this my car is sitting pretty high in the front now? I didn't change the springs, I added new shocks..just curious on why my car has some much space between the tire and the fender?

when you tightened your control arm bushings/bolts, did you do it with the weight on the wheels or with the car up in the air? That might account for some but not all. Did you make sure the springs went back in the right direction/rotation?

Yikes! You have a wrong part somewhere if you have the springs installed correctly IMO.

Did you change the front springs? If so, what did you use?
