Default Car does not sit level!

Hey guys I herd this was a common problem with the 67-69 F body. Mine is a 69. I have Hotchis 2" drop front springs and DSE 3" rear springs. Here is how it sits...

Measurments are from the ground to the lowest part of the fender:

Front driver- 23.25"
Front pass- 23.75"
Rear driver-25.75"
Rear pass-26.5"

The whole car sits lopsided to the driver side. I checked the body mounts and none are crushed. I also checked for frame damage and could not find any. Also the springs are all brand new. Any suggetions?? I was alos considering dropping the rear 1" more with some solid blocks. What do you guys think???

Did it sit lower on one side before you added new springs?

Did you tighten the spring/suspensions bushings before you let it down on the ground or did you let it sit for a while before tightening them up?

I am pretty sure I let it settle down before I tightened the shackles down. I will loosen them just to double check.
