You say 'the left front is 3/4 of and inch too'. Can you clarify? So left = driver, right = passenger?
Are both sides dropped the same amount?
My question regarding fender gap, I was suggesting side to side, like, does one side's tire stick out more than the other side? Suggesting a mis-aligned subframe?
In a pinch, you could remove the top 3 inner wheel housing bolts. The tires are most likely hitting those. You will get an additional @ 1/3 of an ich out of that.
Take a measurement at the 4 leaf mounting points too, just so we're not focued on the wrong end of matters here. As an example, if the passenger rear were an inch lower, that would make the driver front slightly higher, and visa-versa.
I don't think it's the control arms, if they were deformed that much to cause this issue, it would be visably noticable. I can't recall off the top of my head, but I think the body bushings that go the rear 4 locations on the frame rails are different than the ones that go on the core support. Door to fender gap may show that. I would have to go look at a set of bushings to remember, might go dig a set out when I can, have to see what my night looks like.
We'll get this figured out one way or another, no worries...
