Ok, here is the deal. Measured the frame and it was still 1/4 inch high on the right side.
Took it to the alignment shop he measured the body and frame and agreed with my measurements. Then the question. Do I want the frame level or the body level. I elected to go with the body level. So he played around with the height adjusters and did the alignment with the body level. I know the frame is 1/8-1/4 off but I was told it won't matter.
I did mention the idea of buying after market lowering bolts. He said because the stock leveler bolts are very long I may have to unbolt a control arm to get the stock bolts off the rear. Seems like more work than I want to get involved in for a while.
So body level ,car a bit lower, all is well.
