The rear suspension fluid container can be found in the left front of the engine compartment, behind the left front headlight and ahead of the left front shock mount, attached to the inner fender liner.

You can ajust the rear suspension height but it is only for minor adjustments. You may want to try bleeding the system first to see if that cures your level issues.

Additionally, there are nitrogen cells at the tops of the rear shocks that go bad. I have not seviced these myself, but you might want to search this site for the repair. It could make a difference.

It also may be your rear springs. I believe the procedure is to detach the leveling arm and see where the suspension finds its own height without the assistance of the pump. Rear springs can make a signicant difference in ride height and ride quality.
