I think that's right, shorter springs with longer sleeves

shorter springs longer sleeves = rear? ok well i did get around to taking my pass. side front off but didnt put the new one in. i know how to do that now and i went and rented a spring compressor. i took it off and had to put the stock one back in to get home from a friend's. well hopefully ill have some time off from school/baseball this week and have time to do something on it. im sure ill have more questions though! ill be posting some pics to...

here are some pics from today when i installed my pass. side front...i might try the camber kit tomorrow and am going to do the drivers side. hopefully ill get some pics of the install on that side now that i know what im doing and stuff. well, somewhat. so im a quarter of the way there!!! looks great and im sure ill have to make some adjustments, but that doesnt take long. pics-- started off with 3 fingers and now is only one. i like this height but do you think its too low? my dad says it need to be about 1/2" higher.

the height is fine, you should be good driving with it like that. looks like you are on you way into getting a sweet suspension set up. only 3 more to go.

cool. You need to at least lower it to the point where you have less wheelgap than sidewall.

Its hard to tell, but that looks like a good hight to me. My back tires tuck and my fronts theres like ahafe a inchgap almost like that. You could probably go half a inch lower tho.

do your back tires wear unevenly because they tuck?

i probably will go a little lower but i was just showing my dad the adjustability features. me and my friend did this yesterday and im going to do the drivers side today. and also, is it hard to put on my new front camber kit? it looks to me like its pretty easy just take the pin out or whatever and the 2 nuts. also, when i put my bumpstops on they were just sitting there and could move...the stock ones sat in that one spot you know but these just fell all the way down and will travel up. is this correct?
