Default Help with stock ride height!

Hey guys, I bought an 07 Classic ecsb about a month ago. Its 2wd with the 5.3. Ive been very happy with the truck so far, but i have noticed that it doesnt sit quite straight. As far as i can tell its completly stock. The front drivers side sits 1in. lower than the front passenger side. The rear drivers side wheel well sits 1/2in. lower that the passenger rear. I have a feeling that the true issue is stemming from the front, but i could be wrong. I took it to the dealer and apparently everything is in "spec", but they have a rediculous range that counts as in "spec". Id like to lower the truck a little, but i would feel more comfortable figuring out this issue first. It doesnt seem to matter how much gas is in the tank or anything like that. Its bugging the hell out of me because its noticable to me. Any help or insight is appreciated. Thanks

Ya, Chevy lean. I figured it got better on the newer models, mainly '07-up I mean. Guess not.

Yea, I've been doing some research and it seems to be pretty common. The truck is still under warranty and I found what I thought was a TSB for it. It says that you can stack up to 2 spring insulators in the left front the try to level it out. I called the dealer and told them about it and they said that it was just some sort of preliminary service bulletin. I'm still waiting to hear back from them though.
