When I lowered my wagon I had a crazy lean in the rear, about 1/2 inch. I found that UMI makes a shim kit to correct it. That did the trick.

I would park it on a flat surface and check the ground clearance at the front end and rear end of the C channel on both sides, that will tell you if the lean is caused by the suspension or the body isn't sitting level. Make sure all your tires have the same pressure.

Sorry couldn't snap some pics fellas, but it seems like you guys already know what Im talking about. I have not looked over the body bushings but as far as the front suspension, thats already be all replaced as well. This weekend I will sit it on jack stands, level and check some measurements. I doubt the frame is warped as well. Hopefully its an easy fix. Hell, I even thought about using a spring spacer but rather see what is the actual cause.
