and the battery, you think they would have tried a little harder to distribute weight

Yea, it's still evident after lowering, actually alot of guys say they notice it even more after they drop their truck. I notice it more on my own truck since I lowered it.

It's caused from how the trucks were straped down when they were shipped to dealerships, when I dropped my truck I still had to fix the stupid chevy lean

Both of my trucks sit that way. On my 96, I thought my ball joints were bad but they wasn't.

Had a GM tech tell me the same thing about the way they strap them for delivery (opposite corners of the truck) He said they've had to put some on a frame machine before putting them on the lot.... no idea how true this is, but seems shity. Glad I have t-bars, I just tweak them and level it all the way around.
