86 442 not sitting level

I recently purchased an 86 442. I noticed that the car sits about a half inch to 3/4 lower on the passenger side. The car seems as though it was very well taken car of but now this concerns me. The dreaded frame damage! Do you think this should be a concern or any ideas how to figure out what is going on? Thanks in advance!

A lot of them do that. Mine included.
Check tire pressures first. I just put an air bag in one spring.

Haha...it actually sits lower on the passenger side (heavy passenger perhaps?) The car has about 95K on it. I'm going to to swap the rear springs with each other this weekend and see what happens.

I see that a few guys are local to me. I live in Crest Hill.
