Depends what's wrong.  A problem at one corner can show itself at the 
opposite corner.  Could be a problem with a spring or its mountings 
(hopefully not a wheel or tyre including pressure but it has happened ...). 
If you are going by the *body* then it could be how that is mounted to the 
chassis, you need to take measurements from the *chassis* to flat and level 
ground, standing on its wheels.

Barney's jacking under the centre of the rear axle could show a twisted 
chassis as well as a bad front spring, if the drop heights from the chassis 
at the back are different to each other.  You would have to check the drop 
heights at the front (tyres on ground) whilst the rear is raised, if they 
are the same as each other then it is a twisted chassis.
