On my 65 its higher in the rear only on the drivers side.I have airshocks that I have no idea how old they are.Even if I load the low side to 100psi and the drivers side to only 25psi the passenger side is still lower.It's off by about 1"or so.It's worst with the family in the car the passanger tire rubs on almost any right turn.Do you think new air shocks or leaf springs would be fix it.I can't do both right now so I'm thinking the airshocks mite be better to start with.Do you think any of those bolt on leaf spring helpers will help.Thanks Ron------------------

Ron,I don't want to give you any bad news but sometimes the chassis bends a little causing the difference. I'm sure someone else here can tell you what to look for. New shocks and springs will make a world of difference in handling but may not fix that problem. - Jas

You should be able to tell if your leaf springs are OK just by looking at them. If they're flat with the car's weight on them, time to change them. You could also check that you've got the rears of the two leaf springs attached to the same mounting holes on the shackles. Maybe one's up and one's down.
