Tilting rear suspension

I have a 85 C-4 and looking at the rear of the car it is 1" higher on the right side between body and tire then the left. Can anyone give me an idea where to start to fix this problem. The rear suspension is softer on the left side than the right when pushing down on the car over the rear tire.

Any answers would be appreciated, Thanks Woody.

How do you adjust the ride height of a 85 C-4.

Or delaminating...either way it isn't right.

That is...as long as the spring bolts on the rear are in the same place with the same amount of threads showing below the nut.

Being soft on one side and not on the other certainly sounds like the spring is kaput.
