You couldn't ask for it being more even. It ended up 37" to the top center of the wheel arch on both sides in the front and 38" in the rear. I'm just not sure if I want it that high.

I will try and get it outside in the next couple of days and take some pictures. I'm not sure about driving it yet. We have a lot of melting going on but there is still a lot of sand and salt mix on the roads....
I had a 70 Corvette years ago that the a previous owner for some reason put big block springs in the front, my alignment guy alerted me to the fact they were BB springs.

He ordered in the correct ones and RnR'd them. It still set about 1" high, but he explained they will settle in and they did. After a couple hundred miles they sat just about 1" lower.
