Move right boxes to the left.

Hey folks how do I go about moving the right boxes to the left hand side of the page, creating a two column layout?

I have tried to change the float from right to left but it then inserts it in to the middle of the page over the product.

When I use clear the right side box's sit nicely under the left just as I wanted, but then on the product page the 'tabs' and 'tabs_page' both clear the left column and sit half way down the product page inline with the right column.

Can any one help.

P.S just checked this also happens the the 'update' 'continue shopping' 'checkout' and the 'coupon' box all so sit with the right column.

I guess they are floated so they are clearing the left column like the right column is, any way around this?

Write ok on the product page its something to do with the 'tabs' attribute because when I remove this the 'tab_page ' sits nicely under the product image without any clearing problems as the tabs section does.

For now I will just move them in the admin panel but if anyone can help with this to save changes in the admin panel that would be grate.
