Is there anyway to adjust the rear ride height. I took the rear end out when the frame had no load on it. I put the same springs from before the rebuild, and now that I have the body on it seems too tall. The ride height spec sayd @6 1/2" for non ss and @5 9/16" for ss. I currently have over 7 1/2" between frame and top of axle. Would loosening all the bushing bolts and bouncing it a few times, then let it settle and retorque them work? Nothing has changed. There is only about 1" flex upward and im at the end of my shocks.

And make sure the springs are seated properly at the top into the depressions made to accept the top of the spring.
