Front sitting too high?

Hi chaps, I reckon my front end is sitting way too high. I fitted mahoosive rear tyres look to see if a 15" rear 14" front would give the desired look, but thefront remains obstinately high.
Sooo, lower front via torsion bars?
Also, reckon rear springs are pretty saggy and wonder if expensive mono springs would provide a better solution.
Opinions welcome

Stick a big block in it Miles
On a serious note, try lowering it by the bolts on the K frame first as it may have the desired affect asthetically to the rear

Thanks boys, I will do as suggested.
Justin, give me a moment to regroup as I'm wondering which way to go with the wheel/tyre combo

Drop the front with the torsion bars , jack the car up first

Mike I believe i donated my air shox to your Mustang many years ago.
I reckon I need 1970s jack up shackles, that'd sort the beggar

I have probably got a set somewhere, when I removed them in favour of Superstocks springs and Hangers - the only way to fly....

front looks way too high
adjust it as per the service manual like this …

setting the correct ‘difference’ between the adjustment blade and the steering knuckle is the way to go as it doesn’t matter what wheels/tyres you’re running
I would do it this way then go up or down from there, whatever is your poison
