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

4WD or 2WD Jimmy? The ball joints mount differently to the knuckle between the 2.

I think I would be looking at the spindle since you are sitting probably 2"+ from before and using the same springs, adding the glass hood will do nothing to drop the front end and the lower control arms appear to be the correct ones plus you compared them to the original.
Also did you lube all of the bushings prior to install?

I put grease where the bolts go on the bushing

But arms came with the bushing installed

Couple guys say it will settle in later...haven't really drove it yet because I got to get it alignment

I tightened in air at first..then someone told me loosen put tires on ground so I did..and tightened them on ground..still sitting pretty high..and yeah I pet the spring in correct I put a new thin insulator on top?

I am thinking that maybe since you tightened them in the air first loosening them my not have released enough pressure on the bushings to rotate properly and then re tightening them with the weight on the car might not have changed anything from the initial adjustment.

It ain't gonna settle THAT much.

I think that also because they still didn't even budge with them loosen

How many miles do you have on it since? When I put the new springs in the front of my car it sat very high until I drove it. Even with the all iron big block and 2" drop spindles the front end was way up there. I drove it around and it settled.
