What suspensions did you use? If you are using a coil over sleeve you may have the sleeve upside down on the strut.

Are the control arms bent or seized up? Something is preventing full suspension travel if you have a full coil over setup and it's not dropping.

Remove coilover on that corner of the car, disconnect sway bar, and then push up on the suspension. Take it all the way up until the upper control arm touches the shock tower. That will verify that you have the full suspension travel available.

try loosening the lower control arm bolts, with everything installed then lower the car. if its all good then tighten them up with the suspension compressed.
