From the looks of your screen name, You had to have owned a honda before . I'm not trying to be funny, but cut springs on honda's thats understandable. We've all gone through that stage at one point, but when you step up into a Lex, atleast try to do it right, go springs, coils, or air. Don't go cheap, just my thoughts not trying to offend you

If you get polyurethane isolators for the springs that should help raise it up a bit. This is what I did for my Mustang. One goes on the bottom pigtail and the other on the top of the spring. It helped raise me back up about an inch.

are you sure, that the spring was installed on the correctly? Fronts are on fronts rears are on rears? your fronts look REALLY low. the rear higher. due to the rear spring might be stiffer due to its made to hold the weight of the motor.

Words I live by.

Try lowering the rear some more so you don't have much of a raked stance. That will make your front bumper higher and you'll scrape it less. But you'll have to angle speed bumps more or you'll get stuck.
