Default 56 Merc check my level

Hi all, I’ve been told by a few old timers, and rightfully so, that the rear of my car looks to be higher than stock. I can see that it definitely isn’t level, but do you guys think my rear is higher than stock or is it possible the front is lower from sagging springs?

I’m starting the Aerostar spring conversion to lower the front, and plan on doing a new 3” drop leaf spring in the rear. I was just trying to get an idea how it would look when done. I’m concerned if I get the full 3” from the Aerostar’s that some report it’ll be too low, but maybe I’m already an inch or two lower from the springs being old. I’ve included a pic of my leaf springs in case anything is obvious to you guys

Thanks for any help
