Default What's with the "Chevy Lean"

So, i've heard of this "chevy lean" before, but never experienced it until i did my hanger and shackle a while ago. When i did my 4l80 swap, i did 1" drop coils in the front cause with my 22"s the 2" in the front i thought would be too much and would rub. Anyway, the left side of my truck looks bitchin, the passenger side is exactly 1" higher both in the front and the rear. Is this due to gas tank, steering, dash, battery and all that? It sucks cause my passenger side of my truck doesn't looks as good, and i can even see it leaning to one side if you step back far enough. Now before i did the hanger and shackle i measure the truck with tire inflated evenly on a flat road from ground to wheel well and it was like that before. So anyway, i'm getting some escalade wheels and tires in 3 days and selling my 22"s and probably gonna drop the front aother inch, anyway suggestions on what people have done about this, i've heard that people actually adjust the hanger on one side, or rework the passenger side leafs or something. Anyway, any info would be great.
