Try slacking off the bush and shackle bolts and see if the vehicle settles on it's
springs a bit. I had this on my LtWt when it was new (to me) and went to the
hassle and expense of new springs/shocks to only find out that the shackle
bolts were rusted solid with the shackles at the wrong angle. When I finally got
the bolts loosened off the vehicle settled down to the correct height. However,
since I'd already done the hard work and purchased the springs, shocks and
new bushes I decided to do the swap anyway (seemed a good idea at the
time but by the end of the day with bloody knuckles, coughing due to burning
the bushes out, ripped/dirty clothes and a real bad temper I regretted my
decision).
