Are you sure your rear end was cut correctly? Doesn't make sense for the leaf springs to be that much closer on one side if an equal amount was cut off each tube and axle. I'd bet that is where your problem exists. The ride height may very well be a separate problem.

I'm pretty sure the diff was cut right cause my new axle from moser were ordered 2" shorter and they fit perfect.This weekend I'm going to crawl under it and see what is going on.

That's strange. I'll be watching to find out what the cause of this was.

I would make sure everything is aligned when you bolted the housing on to the leafs it was centered and double check the rear to make sure they are the same length like Vegas69 said

Stupid question on the ride height. Did you replace the framerails, trunk floor, quarters, etc? If so, did every thing check out level, i.e. baselining the height to the framerails to the height of the tailpan and quarter lips?

Just trying to cover all bases...

I am assuming that the body shop did all of the proper measuring and squaring up of the back end of the car.I am going to have to go over everything that this shop did......It was only there for 18 months .As for the rear end I will be checking everything this weekend and keep you guys posted and thanks for all the suggestions

may be a dumb question, but have you physically measured all the wheels for proper width and backspacing.
