My wagon will not level out in the rear and the only explanation is that the passengers side rear spring is out of place. I have the strut out, the sway bar link removed and the PS Rear will not go below 14" from center of tire to top of wheel well while the other side sits around 10.5" in the same position- more of what I would expect with the hydraulic valve totally bled and in the "lower" position. The spring seems to be the only thing holding the passenger side up. Am I missing something??

Can't comment on how the SLS will affect you, or if you analysis is correct...but, on my '82 sedan it takes about 20 minutes to get the spring out using that article. You may need a 2x4 to push down on the control arm to get that last 1/4" to 1/2" clearance you need. Whatever you do, dont go and do something like unbolt the diff for more clearance. It works great to get clearance, but re-assembly is not so fun. How do I know you ask? 
Good luck, its not as bad as it sounds.
