Question Low Rider!

I have a 1994 two door, two wheel drive, automatic Geo Tracker. It was bought used four years ago and runs fine. The right rear corner (body) sits three inches lower than the left rear. The front is level. No one (including alleged experts) has been able to solve the mystery. I replaced the right rear shock with a new gas filled shock. It didn't help. Everyone told me I had a spring problem so I pulled the rear springs. They were identical in length but I swapped them anyway. The right rear is still three inches lower than the driver's side. The rear bumper is perfect and the body appears undamaged. The rear axle looks straight and the welds look good so I doubt this relates to the 1994 rear suspension recall on this model. I'm stumped! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

tires same size ? ( sorry)
driveway flat ( sorry again).
bent frame.
take it to a frame shop. (some alignment shops can do)
if frame not bent then the body is bent or the mounts (rubber) are munged.

car is like wedding cake.
axle spring , frame, mount, body. gota be one.

The garage floor is dead flat and level. All four tires are P205-70 R15 with equal pressure. The rubber body mounts all look healthy and equal. There's no obvious damage but I suppose the frame or body could be bent. Thank you for the prompt reply and suggestions.
Do you have any idea why my dash lights and shifter light won't work? All the other lights, including the warning lights and dome light work fine. All the fuses are good and the dimmer switch is good. The radio is missing. I was told that the dash lights won't work if the factory radio is removed due to a key ground wire running through the radio but I really have no clue. I just use a tiny LED clip light to illuminate the speedometer at night. I'm not even sure if dash lights are suppose to be standard equipment.
