Well, it's level now.  Turned out the right front was just a skosh out of the pocket which had a pretty dramatic impact on the left rear.  Additionally one of the rear springs (cheap ass Moog springs) settled an unusually high amount.  We trimmed the other side to match (need to get some new ones in the long run) and all is well.   Only had to take enough of the rear to make up 5/8 or so.

Fantastic !! Glad you got it fixed. When you go to replace those try http://www.springsnthings.com/. Quite a few of the forum members have had good success with them and the prices are good too.
