Sounds like you have the "Chevy lean". You probably always had it except now it's more obvious because you have less fender gap. Go measure the rear now. I bet the driver's side rear is slightly lower than the passenger side.

i'll have to do that when i get home. i know about the "lean" but i figured new coils up front would correct that?

I did air bags and tubular A arms and still had the lean.... I run more psi in the left front to level it out and moved the battery to inside the box on pass side.
You will prob have to go with a coil spring spacer on the left front.

yep that's common, I had it then & still got it now. That 1/2" tends to eat up my left tire if there's a dip in the road or coming in my driveway! If I had some skinnies up front then I wouldn't mind as much.

LOL you guys think you have it bad. My situation doesn't even make sense. My passenger side sits lower than my drivers side. Here's the deal though....my front drivers side tire is the only one that rubs.

I sit at:

Front left-31.5
Front right-31
Right rear-28.5
Left rear-29

and yes my front is 2" higher than the back(I'm running a 2.5/7 drop until I put my coils on)
