Sounds like Chevy lean to me. Do a search for chevy lean and you will find tons of information.

never heard of "chevy lean" before but after doing a search it looks like its a very common issue with chevy trucks. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't my drop or my stupid accidents God damn rubberneckers!!

Nope, probably not from accidents. My truck has the same issue in the front AND rear. It's off by a little bit on from the pass side to the driverside. I never noticed it until I had my bed loaded with pallets (yes, evenly)... one tire was juuuust tucked and the other was to the fenderlip.

My old colorado had the same issue. Some people think the "chevy lean" is attributed to the crown in the road so when you drive you don't feel like your leaning over and some others say it's for the fuel tank on one side... either way, it's there.

Man, my biggest fear is always some retard rear ending me because he isnt paying attention. There are a few different fixes for Chevy lean, I did a quickie fix by installed a spring clamp on the high side to bring it down a little.
