Suspension help

Was the front and rear end hanging free in the air or was the vehicle weight placed on the the control arms and rear end to simulate it being on the ground?

The tires were touching but he had the suspension fully extended. There was not weight on the tires(the slicks and front tires were with no sign of pressure on them. I have a feeling that is not good? I assume that means the chassis was flexed some what.

Wagons have Boxed Frames, the replacement of floors wouln't make a difference unless the body mounts were were replaced.
I'd contact a chassis builder with a table or chassis beams to check and see if the frame is tweaked?
