Default Shocks alter height at all?

Hey guys

i have SSL's on the rear of my AU1 (live axle) and SL's on the front, with stock shocks on the front and crappy ultima short shocks on the rear...

now for the problem. i can see that my rear end sits slightly lower than the front , and it really ****es me off. now i am planning to get new pedders shocks all around and im wondering if i should change the rear king springs to SL's while im at it. that way i only get stung with the 1 labour cost. or do you think that short shocks in the front will even it out a smidge.

what do u guys think?...

heres a pic. its not that good...



By the way this is without the 2 clarion twelves, amp and box that is sitting in my room!

Short shocks may help to drop the front 5 or 10mm, but not really enough to flatten out the car. Put the SLs back in the back - there's only about 10mm difference anyway, so with short shocks all round, it should sit nice and even; maybe even a bit nose down.
