I just installed new leaf springs today. Replaced my old 4 door leaf pack with super lift ones that come with the 4wd lift kit for the explorer. I have 3.5 inch fabtech spindles up front that work great, granted I still need new shocks for the front and the rear since I still have the stock ones 
What I found is the rear is now lifted higher than the front end of the truck, its not much only a half inch or so. The front of the truck sits at 39 inches from the top of the wheel well to the ground vs the back which is 39 and 1/2... like I said not that big of a deal but noticeable. I don't think I can adjust the torsion bars anymore up front then again I haven't adjusted them since the spindles were put on the truck. I also have warrior shackles in the rear and was thinking if I went back to stock ones that would change the height but probably more than a half an inch. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas? 
I'm pretty sure the springs will probably settle in over time.
