    Welcome! Looks like a case of the saggy rear syndrome. Post some pics of this CJ puppy followed by some closeups of the shackles and leaf springs. In general the jeeps are usually level unless loaded down in the rear. Your CJ is over 40 years old thus the leaf springs, shackles, shocks, etc may be worn out. But it's a jeep and repairable.
