Front end riding high after rebuild

Featured Replies

I recently did the following work on my 2011 OB front end: 

New control arms (after market, I forget the brand)
New sway bar end links (Moog)
New sway bar bushings (Subaru)
New strut assemblies (KYB)
New RH cv axle (Subaru) 

All of these parts visually matched up to the parts coming out of the vehicle. But now, the front end is sitting about 2-3" higher than normal. The car feels like it's going uphill when you drive it, and the front wheel well is noticeably further away from the top of the tire than the rear wheel well.

What could be causing that?

(And before you ask, yes I did jack up the wheel assembly to normal curb height before I torqued the control arm bushings). 

Normal rebound when you jump on the bumper?

If you jack it from the jack pad just aft of the oil pan, do the springs compress as normal?
