Replacing shocks turns into a leveling job.

So I felt like I needed to replace my front and rear shocks on my 2nd Gen with 250k miles. I have no idea when the last shocks were replaced (bought it $75K mi ago). I don't know if the coils were ever replaced. I accidentally ordered KYB leveling front shock/coils assembly. it looks like a normal assembly with a 1-in-ish spacer on top . I just replaced them last night and it seems really tall. I did hear some bumping when as I turned but I haven't had a chance to pull the wheels off and inspect yet. I don't see that I've done anything wrong but please chime and if I'm missing something?.
Thanks, pros
