Just put a 4 or 6 ft level on the front and back bumper if it really bothers you. Then you will know for sure that your truck leans. lol

You maybe?!? Have another, Jas.

Must be a Redneck thing. So, is 1 of your legs longer than the other? That might be why they say cousins or brothers / sisters shouldn't.

Yes, "Chevy lean" is common.

i was at my dads today on flat level surface, all around my driver side back and front is 30" from ground to top of fender, passenger side is 31" front and back, so i have the lean as well. truck was on e too. so im adding my drop shackle on passenger side hopefully this week at 1", and then maybe trim 1/2 the coil upfront for 1"

Jas, I'll cut ya some slack. Rednecks need love too.

Also, I learned of the GM lean some time ago. I witnessed firsthand when I did my drop. I wrote all my specs down before & after the drop. I remember going "What's goin on here?"

I keep my spare tire and a container with a roadside emergency kit in my bed on the right side to try and help the lean lol. Mine's pretty close though, I fiddled around with the torsion bars when I did my drop.
