Default driver side back higher

my driver side rear fender well is about a half inch higher than the rest of the car. would this be an indication that the shocks are gone, or is this normal?

Mine sits that way too, actually both front and back driver side are a bit higher than the passenger side. I've heard it is so it is about level when the driver gets in.

I've never seen one that wasn't.
Hell even with my Strano's the car is slightly higher on the drivers side.

Yeah its normal, it bugs me but its just one of those f-body things. I've seen alot of guys on here spend some $$$ trying to get it to level out, and not have much luck. I hope it sits normal when im in it.

I've heard because of the unibody design. The chassis can be torqued a little bit.
