Dude that still doesn't look very level. Take some measurements from the floor up to the fenders at the middle of the wheel on both the front and back and post them here.

Check to see if they took out the factory spring isolator on the rear springs. Some lifts like the TF 3" says you can take them out when putting in the lift. Or you can add them to the spring spacer/guide if you add a full size spare tire or if any other reason you want to slightly raise the back of the vehicle.........but I would check to see if they left that out. If its not there then I would go back to them and tell them to find your stock isolators and put them back in. That should level it if it is missing.

Stock spring isolator is only good for about 1/4 in with the weight on it. They're very squishy. If the factory isolator was out, I would think he'd be able to hear the metal on metal contact of the spring against the upper perch. I don't know if this is the 4x2in lift I've read about by some manufacturer. 4in springs in frt, 2in pucks in rear, but it sure looks like it. Did they change your rear springs or is there a 2in rubber puck on top?

Here is mine on 35's with a RE 2in BB and a 1in bl. The frt spacer for the BB was 2.5in and the rear 1.75in . I know it has a 1in bl on it but take off the 1in for the body lift and the rear sits similar to yours, or just split the difference or something.

That looks about like how mine sits now.
I only got 2 springs back, so maybe they just put a 2 inch on. 
I'll go up there tomorrow and make a big scene until they fix it. But hopefully the guy can hold his temper, he's likew 4 times my size.

Your frt is high, that's your 4in springs. The kit they put on may be just that . New springs in frt, pucks in the rear. That explains why you only got 2 springs back. Don't go off on em right away if that's the kit you requested. But if they told you that the kit came with all new springs, that's a different story. Did you buy the kit from them or somewhere else.
