Do you have your spare tire in the truck, because that will lower it some more..

Make sure your springs are setting in the perch properly in the back..

bumpstops don't affect height. also, the adjustable damping and rebound doesn't affect height.

i'm not sure but i also think tokicos don't have an adjustable spring perch.

all that said, are these new h&r springs? if not, is it possible that they've begun to sag? if new, perhaps they need some time to settle? installation error? are you sure everything was put in right? has the car even been in an accident? might the frame be out of wack? could be lots of things. we need more detail.

should i take the back off and cut the bump stops .. i don;t think that will lower it more will it ? .... it is pissing me off that peolpe got the same springs as me and sturrts and thier car sits nice and low on the back and looks even with the front .. mine is like low in the front and not low really on the back it looks weird ...

if that's true, and cutting the stops did let you go down a bit, you must be riding pretty damn low to be constantly sitting on your stops. however, i question whether stops are firm enough to make a difference anyway.

is it possible that you have the rear springs on the front and vice versa? when installing, did you put the longer springs in the front or the rear?

H&R springs usually give the staggered stance look from what I've read. My H&R race springs dropped my front about .5" more than my rear. I'm also on Tokico Illuminas.

I've got the usual skunk2/tokico HP setup on my DA9 & have the car staggered on purpose ... I think the car looks its best like that, plus my **** doesn't scrape (that much) going up driveways ...
