Ridetech Front suspension question

[drmatera]

ok, I just finished the install of ridetech A arms, drop spindles and coil overs on my '69 442

I noticed that with the suspension at full extension it doesn't hang down very much. Seems the shocks don't let the arms drop very far.

Here is my issue, the car sits VERY low and the nut is cranked up just about all the way up the threads. Did I make a mistake in ordering 2" drop spindles or ?? The springs are 650# ( not what i ordered but i decided to give them a shot ) so i assumed they would hold the car higher.

Any thoughts? The first pic was with the coil nut just high enough to put pressure on the spring up against the top of the shock. Last pic is with the coil nut just about wound up to the top threads
