    How long has it been like that mate or have you just noticed? it could have been lowered in the past and not correctly reset if it appears to have been raised due to the nature of the torsion bar suspension. A worn shock would cause it to sag a little I suppose but you could try the old bounce test or see if one of the shocks does appear to be leaking to rule that out. Years ago I lowered my old 16valver and it was uneven I remember at the time having a chew levelling it. I was inexperience lowering a torsion bar and dived in! was a bit of trail and error to get it set level after my initial mistake!
