Default My LT-4 is sinking

I just changed the oil this evening. It had been over a year but the car has been sitting. I noticed that I could barley get the small jack under the car. I bought this car new and I swear it has lowered itself 2 inches since then. At this rate I'll have to raise it up in the next 5 years just to clear the driveway. I have always had to approach it sideways but I noticed that even with that I scrap the air dam now.

Drive it up onto a 2x4 and go to town. Springs settle with age sometimes. Either that or someones been playing Dukes of Hazzard with it while youre asleep.

I'm having the same problem, I parked my 86 next to a 87 yesterday and I swear mine sat about 2" lower than his. Maybe we need air in our tire's?????
