I bet you got them backwards...!! that sucks.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

it kinda looks like this, maybe the guy that installed my springs didn't cut the front bump stops?

Your first problem is that you let someone else install your springs. It is quite possible that they didn't cut the bump stops. Not a hard thing to do but it does require you to take the whole thing apart again.

Next:Custom Short Shifter

did you get prokits.. if so.. thats just the way they work for our cars.. i didnt like it.. and so i changed it up so that the rear sat a bit higher.. and as far as i know the bumpstops will have no effect on ride hight unless you got likd 2.5-3in drop springs.. where then perhaps you may be riding on your bumpstops.. but if you were i would think you would know it.
