There was a noticeable difference with the rears, I didn't really compare the fronts... I may find some springs that'll drop it harder up front

When you put the springs in did you loosen the a-arm bolts so the preload is removed? If not, the bushings are probably close to bind and effectively adding spring rate to the front suspension.
No I didn't, I removed the tie rod end, the sway bar link, the brake caliper, and the strut and basically let the spring push the control arm down. Then when I installed them I pried the control arm down and pushed the new spring into its notch and used a jack to push the control arm back up into its position and re attached everything....

If your going to change the rear control arms put some the weight jacker style in. Then you can adjust the rear ride height to exactly where you want it.
That is about the same reverse rake my 84 has with stock springs, mine is just higher.
I know this might bring up a debate but what condition are your rear shocks in, are they leaking?
If you disconnect one end do they still have good pressure to them if you try to compress them by hand?
My last three foxes including an 85 T-bird all seemed to have the same stance. I just bought the springs I wanted and ended up trimming the fronts to get the stance I wanted.
May be worth trying what was mentioned above and loosening the front lca's to see if it helps adjust everything.
If the front springs aren't turned the correct rotation they will sit up like that. There its a pocket the end of the spring fits in, could it just not be in all the way?
