suspension question? ~ did search~

ok just got threw replacing upper and lower control arms with new ball joints already in them, and it looks like the car is sitting up high..? like a raised it? is this normal? or will it settle? also firm light is blinking and im unsure as to how to count the number of blinks does the car have to be on or the the ignition just switched on? thanks

Loosen the upper arm to shock tower bolts and the lower arm frame bolt. Then raise the lower control arm with a separate jack. Once the car starts to lift off the jack stand, then tighten/torque the bolts.
