New Rear leaf install issue

I took my stock springs apart and media blasted each leaf, repainted installed new inter-liners. Now my car is sitting way to high in the back. I'm thinking the media blasting work-hardened the metal.

Also, new springs do settle after a while. Mine did on my 69 Dart.
I hope you're right.

Yes, invert the front spring perch.
Thanks for the tip. I might try this.
