if it's out an inch that will be hard to tell what's wrong by a picture I would think but maybe Bowtie has a plan...

I re-read your posts and I'm thinking if the car was level when you loosened all the control arm bushings but after you torqued them the car I assume was unlevel after you moved it. If that is the case it could be the bushing on the corner that is down are torn

If all things are equal...bushing torque, control arms, spring rate and height...you may have a bent frame. :(

How would I check or adjust the spring rate? Idk why the springs were broken but were also stock with 140,000 miles. But like I said after I loosened the upper control arms, everything sat perfect and looked good. But thien i torqued everything down and it was back to square one. I havent had it aligned yet and i know one of the shims is missing, this couldnt have that huge of an effect though right. And even if it was the alignment, that wouldnt explain how it sit good when everything is loose.
