Upper control arms are touching the bump stops

Well I drove the car around the block. Can't go far in this car, it is race only. Backed it back in the garage, and it has dropped back down. I never messed with the ride height. It is off the bump stops. I got new bump stops and after putting one in place, it has about 1 inch travel. I will cut the tip down a little for more clearance since this is a drag car. The rake on the the car looks perfect. Would not want it any lower in the front. It has SS springs on the rear. The only thing I can think of that had the front up, was this car was completely disassembled down to the bare frame and sit for several years with no weight on it. The upper control arms must have been stuck. The front was rebuilt the same year I disassembled the car so That's the only part of the car that I didn't mess with during the rebuild.
