if the o/p was using stock height sway bar end links,would that keep the front from raisin up? jst a thought.

No, will just make the sway bar lower and the links would have a lot of pressure on em not a big diff at 3 inches. Good thought tho. Check with RC they have had a problem with leaves being too short in the past, messes with shackle angle and can even have a high arch. IF your rear really is 2 inches higher, it won't settle down 2 inches thats for sure....

Just saw the picture you posted, actually doesn't look that bad.
