Just my two cents here...

Control arm attachment bolts are suposed to be tightened to torque specs with the cars weight on the wheels and the suspension under compression.

If things are tightened up while the car is up on a chassis lift and the suspension at full droop the bushings could bind and that may explain the higher ride.

I've made this mistake myself on another car and ended up replacing some prematurely trashed bushings!

Loosen and re-torque with the car's weight on the suspension...

Cheers!
