I don't know exactly which way things go when you lower a car with one of
those load sensing prop valves, but if your car has one(I believe it
does), it basically thinks that the rear wheels have a LOT more weight
over them, and adjusts bias accordingly.  I'm not sure how to correct it,
but look for a proportioning valve on the rear axle, it makes a lot of
sense when you look at it, see if your problem lies there.  Good luck!
