They should eliminate it.....do they for sure? That would depend on the springs. Mine were Moog brand and were only 5 years old. A new set in and baddabing, both sides equal.

I've measured this at different locations to make sure it was just a hair higher elevation in the parkin lot then or over there etc. ~Tyler
You might not have a problem. When I built my truck I dropped it 4 1/2 inches in front and 5 in the rear with ECE drop coils and spindles. The first set of pictures is front and rear when assembly was finished. The 'experts' here claimed I could not have used the parts I said I did because the gaps between fender arch and wheels were HUGE. The second pics are taken after 200 miles on the truck after the suspension settled in. Compare the gaps. I believe your suspension is in the same state. Drive it a bit and check it again. I don't think you have "chevy lean" with new springs. I think it just needs to settle some.
