I measured from my rear tire to the top of the fender wall, and my right rear is lower than my left rear. Also sometimes I can go over a bump and hear a LOUD clank from back there, any suggestions?

 

I suggest you get new shocks and springs

I have new shocks.

 

Same pressure in the tires?

For the clunk, do you have the spare/jack secured properly?

Just want to get the easy stuff figured out first

 

is the sway bar hooked up right? go under and start pulling on suspension pieces and see if anythings loose....if you find something then thats likely the culprit

 

No spare tire or jack, and yes, the tire pressure is the same. nothing loose either.

 

I have a simlar paroblem lie that too but inside if i sit on the driverside of the car in the back seat im fine by 2 inches if i go to the passanger back seat my head hits any ideas?

 

ummmm....maybe the passenger bottom is not all the way in and its sitting up higher..maybe ur roof is sagging (headliner)

check and see if your track bar brace is loose. it could cause noise. as for the height, the only thing that determines it is the springs which are "supposed" to sit exactly the same way in relation to each other. maybe they're not?? probably wouldn't make much difference now that i think about it but you never know.

 

The exhaust's I-pipe could be hitting the track bar brace when the suspension compresses all the way. Maybe the right rear exhaust hanger is loose or rotted away?

Eep- or, your upper shock mount busted through. If you pull the carpet back and don't see the upper bolt for the shock... don't panic too much; mine both busted through. I rebuilt 'em with 1/4" of steel plate bolted up there.
