Quick update - the passenger side was 1/2 " lower than the drivers side of the truck after all. The passenger tire was the only one rubbing, so I took the advice of 67redneck and ordered and installed the 3/8" spacers - that did the trick.

The truck sits pretty darn close to level in the front. Maybe 1/8" - 1/4" difference but only I can tell when I measure.

I'm really happy with the stance that I ended up with.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Very nice! Glad it was a simple fix and worked out for you.

I wouldn't worry about a 1/8" - 1/4" difference. These trucks weren't built with great tolerances, it could even be the fender openings are 1/8" different.

If memory serves, I'm pretty sure mine has a 1/8-1/4" difference too, but like you said, you can't tell looking at it, and my fenders are repop, so I wouldn't doubt if the fender openings are different.
