so heres a question how can I raise the rear up about a 1/4 with stranos and konis? I have a fabricated 9 and I think the new rear end makes it sit a little lower than normal with strano springs, is there any kind of isolator I can get or maybe something to put on the isolatior to make it thicker??

So I installed my front Koni SA shocks and strano springs yesterday. I didnt get to the rear yet, but when I let the car down, I was concerned why the car doesnt appear to be lower(or as low as it should be). It looks almost stock height. I have included a picture to show you. Ive done quite a few shock/spring installs so I dont think I did anything wrong. Maybe yall could give me some feedback as to what may be wrong. Oh yeah, and I measured from the ground to lip of the fender and it measured 27". i know it should be at least an inch lower. This isnt something that is normal with brand new shocks/springs is it?
Did you take measurements before the swap by any chance? Has the front settled at all yet? I installed my Strano/Bilstein combo about 6 months ago and after 5 months of driving it they still sit the same height as before. The front currently sits at ~27.5" from the ground to the center of the fender.
