Thanks guys, I think it'* the springs now too. It'* gotten worse so this Friday I'm getting springs and installing them Saturday. Hopefully it is the springs because the car has gotten insanely low and the ride is incredibly harsh now.

One down side to air shocks is they can increase roll as the air shifts from one shock to the other around corners. A way around this is to fille each shock seperately and use two valves.

Thanks a lot guys, it was the springs I got some from Advance and they are much better quality than the stock ones. This raised the rear end back up like 4 inches...the mud guards still scrape at certain extreme angles but that'* instalation error. The ride and handling is much better now too, thanks again.

PM Don about how he rigged his, and:

Crawl under the rear of the car. Look at the right rear suspension. See a little 5" arm with two little black ball socket joints on it attached to the right rear control arm and a small sensor arm? That'* it. You can't miss it.
