The front is 3/4" higher than the rear! The rear of the car sits and looks great, but the front is higher and makes it look like the rear of the car is dragging

I dont understand. you changed shocks and you gained ride height? thats not supposed to happen. shocks dont support any weight, they just control the up and down movement.
