Swapped them side to side and made no difference. Ilk see what happens once I get the fronts in
 
this might be a dumb question but was there a height diffrence with the older rear springs before you swapped the new springs in-did you swap them to remedy this problem?
 
All 8 of your control arm bushing bolts should be loosened before installing springs. Then retighten at new loaded ride height. Same with fronts. Your bushings could binding up. Switching left to right wont change anything on a solid axle vehicle. For instance if you jack rear frame rail behind the axle both sides of the car will come up pretty much equally. Also ride height should be measured from frame rail to ground--Not at center top of wheel opening.
