Need to raise the front

After installing Swift springs on my X sedan, the front looks lower than the rear. Can I use some sort of spring spacers to raise the front 1/4" or 1/3"? How about a thicker upper strut gasket?
If so, where do I get some?
Thanks.

Looking at that pic, the rears do not look that much lower than stock, if at all. Something doesn't seem right. I have an X with Swift springs and the fronts and rears are about even, maybe 1/8" difference.

I agree!!
Did they install the rear springs??

Or did they install the fronts on the rear and vice versa.
