Default Body leaning to one side?

Well, this is my first post and it's not good. I bought my 2004 reg cab short bed Silverado about a month ago. It has the 5.3, 4L60E, and 3.42 G80. Great truck and I'm very impressed by the performance and capabilities. Anyways, a couple of weeks ago I noticed the driver's side of the truck was lower than the pass. side. I thought I was seeing things until I decided to investigate it more. I got a measuring tape and found out the left rear was about an 1 1/4" lower than the right rear and the front was about a 3/4" lower than the right front. I checked the tire pressure and it was ok. The only thing I could think of was the body mounts. Have any of you ever heard of something like this? I'm taking it back to the dealer and see what they have to say. Any info would be appreciated.

take it to a stealership, they will pop an insulator in the front. some people even get a new spring.

when I tried taking it to the dealer they gave me the "your gas tank makes it lower" excuse. Oh well! Enjoy the performance!
