Has the car been driven on the new suspension?  If not the springs haven't settled, so what you're seeing may not even be real.

The good news it seems to be a common problem.  I'm going to wait a couple of weeks and see how it goes.  Will keep the car on the tires and hope it settles right.  I'm going to go ahead and order the new tires and do an eyeball alignment before installing the subframe.

Sure did feel good to see the ride on proper wheels.

yep I have this issue too. redone the whole front end I still got it... LOL .. now I am suspecting my rear suspension!! 

Well.. to be honest.. I have come to terms with the issue being the fat guy sitting in the drivers seat in my car.. so..


.. good luck! let me know if you figure it out

:D

Another thing to consider, whenever attempting to check anything chassis wise is whether or not the surface the car is sitting on is itself level.  In other words, if the concrete floor in the garage falls away to one side I would expect the chassis not to read level.  Concrete is almost never perfectly flat, and garages typically have some inclination to allow water drainage towards the door.  Exterior concrete is supposed to be pitched 1/4" per foot.  Then you've got settlement, etc.

When I built my chassis stands for sitting a car on its tires 4' off the ground (so I can roll around under it on a stool for doing subframe connectors, etc). I found the low spot in my shop floor and built that first stand 4' tall.  Then I leveled across each direction and built each successive stand slightly shorter to account for the floor.  A level placed from stand to stand in any direction reads perfectly level on the surfaces where the tires sit.  This way I know when I weld the subframe connectors to the chassis the chassis is not twisted or bound in any way. 

When I used to use jackstands, etc. I would place shims under the stands or tires as needed to get it level.  Some scrap 1'x1' pieces of plywood in 3/4", 1/2", 1/4", etc. made it fairly easy.  I had some 1-3/4"x11-7/8" LVL that worked great when I needed to make up for a big difference. 

Just something else to consider. 

might be the rear shackles are not set correctly. they should both be be angled like a forward slash on a keyboard. Top closer to front and bottom that attaches to leaf spring toward rear of car. Just a thought

Move tremendouswand to other side of car and recheck.

From the gaps in the photo, the trunk lid you have the level sitting on looks higher on the driver side than the other.
 I would not touch anything till you have a few thousand miles on it.

Leaf spring leafs bind against each other, and that affects ride height, especially on new springs.  Douse them good between the leafs with some silicone lube and then drive the heck out of it.  I bet they settle out even.
