My 85 has never sat level. Dosent look like its ever been wrecked. I first replaced all 4 springs, rebuilt front suspension/steering still sat crooked. Next went through and did all new body bushing and the missing ones. That helped a little. If you look at the car from the back the drivers side sits about 1 inch lower. Anybody have any anwsers for that?

Thanks
 
If you still have the front swaybar on the car, try disconnecting the links on both sides, my car sits level when I do that.
 
Vader, I have seen a few like that. Mine included.... What is your measurement on all 4 corners? Measure from ground to arch in fender lip and we'll compare.
 
The dimensions you gave are good, but only half the story. You also need some dimensions from suspension to frame. Maybe from top of axle to bottom of frame rail, and from some point on front to frame. Tip of outer tie rod end? Doesn't really matter, as long as you state what dimension you took. Then, you will know whether the problem is between the wheels and the frame- suspension problem- or between the frame and the sheet metal, which would be body and/or body mounts. It still may be easiest to use air bags, even if the prob is not in the suspension, but at least you will know.
 
I noticed one day that mine was sitting uneven. It drove me nuys for 2 weeks, until I realized that the garage floor was uneven.
