Just what KSWAN said.
It's possible that the rear springs have gotten tired BUT more then likely you trailing arm bushings are shot, They will drop the car almost an inch. At 200K I put new rear (overload)springs in and the car was still low, the trailing arm bushings were the culprit. they were clunking anyway.

Sounds like a small number but you can really see an inch.
