It sounds like the torsion bar has settled. The offset and width of the 5 
spokes is different than the stock rims you had on, so it's even more 
noticeable.I don't think a new shock will fix your problem. I do think you're going to 
have to reset the spring plate on the torsion bar (raise that side (or both) 
up). Swing axles are very peculiar, in the they tuck the tires under the fenders 
when going forward, but push them out (at the top) when going in reverse. I 
hope this helps.
