Your old springs were probably sagging an inch or more so 2 inch plus that will feel like more. They will also settle in a bit. Mine dropped half an inch about 6 months after installing

Went to the store yesterday and took the wife dropped her off and as she was stepping out she almost fell as she’s not used to the height
it was kinda funny how 3 inches can make such a difference
