If it was a 2/4 then it should be level. If you go any lower it might look funny. Were there any spacers in the kit that may have been used.
Also, what kind of shocks do you have on the rear?

Remove the rubber pads that sit on top and bottom of the rear coils throw a little grease on them then put them back in. Should give you a little more drop but maybe not enough for you liking

i have the same problem you have. If you are using factory ZW7 shocks then they will hold the back up slightly. Mine sits 3/4" higher with the ZW7 shocks than without. I can't stand rake (higher in rear than front), I like a little bit of lean (lower back than front). I'm 3/5 about to either do a 6" rear spring or bags.
Cutting the rear bump stop bracket may help your situation if the axle is sitting on the bumpstop. Otherwise, get a spring with more drop.

did you use shock extenders?
did you cut bracket off frame (more then 3 inches you need to cut bracket off frame or truck just sits on bumpstops)
also ifyou didnt cut the bracket off you will need to do the djm links and my bumpstops $110 shipped because if you cut the bracket off the frame the swaybar will hit the panhard bar bracket without the endlink kit.
