Re: cockeyed truck?
Yep, common as dirt. On my 06 SWB CC, I took it to have a bed cover and lowering shackles installed. The installers immediately got out there tape measure and checked the height, bring it to my attention.
It seems that they had so many people complain that the shackle was causing the problem, they started bringing it to the owners attention "before" they installed the shackles. Mine was so bad that I have one shackle set on 1" and the other on 2" just to level it out. James- Thanks for pointing it out that this was in the wrong forum. I didn't catch it either until you said something.... ![]()

Re: cockeyed truck?
A few suggestion about the height on your trucks, if you measure from the rear axle up to the frame on both sides (when it is setting on even ground), it will help identify if the problem is because of the springs OR spring being wore . I replaced a few 6 or 7 years ago to help troubleshoot this complaint(notice i didn't say it fixed the problem). On some 4x4 trucks just adjusting the front torsion bars help to correct the problem, just remember to check the front end alignment if you do adjust the torsion bars. Hope this makes sense. James

Re: cockeyed truck?
It's called the Chevy lean. They all do it, my '04 does it, I removed the overload spring to help with the issue. I don't haul/tow heavy enough loads for the overload to ever make contact. But, if you do tow/haul leave the springs alone
