Lopsided suspension?

So I finally got the stance I wanted (kinda) on my 67 cutlass (going gasser), but I'd like to lower the rear some more. Unfortunately I JUST got it to sit level left to right (with in 3/4") by using a wagon springs on the driver rear, and and stock spring on the passenger rear (BBO wagon with A/C springs on the front with 4.5" spindle lift).

I'm worried of if I go with 1-2" drop springs for the back, I'll go back to having the passenger rear sit 1.5-2" taller than the driver.

Thoughts as to what could cause this?

Check your body bushings for rot, or the frame or body being rusted where the bushings sit.
