Check the pinion angle, I would set it at -2.

measure the angle of the drive shaft and pinion angle add the two together.

Example if the driveshaft is -1 and pinion is -1 that will be -2.

Drive shaft +1 and pinion down -3 would be -2.

Best bet is to get adjustable front shocks up front which you can adjust ride hight and in rear use a 2 1/2" coil over spring with adjustable spring mount so you can adjust ride hight there too.

If it is up on jack stands the pinion angle can't be set properly. It has to have the full weight on the suspension.

uhm, im not trying to set the ride height. tring to figure out the effing torq arm. i set it in the front so that it cleared everything, maybe its wrong it was on jack stands so it could be -7 for all i know

Yeah. Load the suspension and change the pinion angle to -2. Sounds like you pinion angle was set with the suspension unloaded, which can't be good for anything.
