Drop shackles
Installed 2" drop shackles on my 92 GMC today, now it doesn't sit level, 5/8" out. Drove the truck thinking that they needed to seat in ( both were tightened up with weight on the truck ), no luck. Both were installed in the same hole on each side. Used Bell Tech shackles, so they ought to ne good, confused!

Your truck was probably always lower on the driver's side but now it's more apparent since the truck is lower. The issue you describe is more commonly known as "Chevy Lean". It's a "problem" that many full size GM trucks have, although less common on the '88-'98 trucks. The lean doesn't affect how your truck rides or handles.....it's all visual.
