Hey guys I got a quick question After only about 15 passes my car is starting to sag a little on the right passenger spring. the difference in height is about an inch. The car has a Big block in it and torques fairly hard to the right. The springs are the original wagon springs. with competition engineering shocks. I have a set of drag bags I haven't installed yet. Will this help? Anyone ever have something like this happen? Thanks for any help!! Wagondude

Do you use rubber or poly bushings in your front or rear control arms? Bushing bind can cause it to hold an angle being rocked to one side. Worn body bushings can do that as well.

Check your shocks, too. My first pass in the wagon rolled right pretty good, and it was enough to tweak the piston rod in my left rear shock.

Its the rear spring there's about an inch difference between them, but I also just realized I got the fuel cell and battery on that side? Would an air bag pick that side up some?

Yeah, the standard op of bags is to run 10-15 psi more on the passenger side than the driver to resist or preload that side's tendency to want to lift under torque. A side benefit in your case is extra support for the sag prob. I run between 18-20 in my pass. bag and 8-10 in the left.
