I waited till now to mention the transverse spring. I believe you may more likely have an issue there as the shocks do not lift the rear that much. Run you hand (carefully - gingerly) over the top of the rear spring and see if it is splintering - a problem I had with my 95 LT1 Vette. The shocks may well need attention too, but that would be more of a dynamic problem - and wouldn't affect the static problem you're dealing with.

So, my money is on the spring or the adjustment thereof, but NOT the shocks. But, you can have the shocks rebuilt for a fraction of the cost of new ones, and that would be my route too.

Let us know what you find.
