You don't have a full load on your springs yet. I can see you have not installed rear glass. Are seats in, door panels, engine ... etc?

Leave all bolts loose when attaching rear axle to springs and spring ends to rear shackles etc. Don't tighen up bolts until the car is resting on the rear axle with a full load.
