I asked my personal lifelong mechaninc about it and he had noticed the same thing with some of these trucks.

I have a suspicion about the rear shocks. I have seen a "lazy" shock do this. I have even had some that were just "there" also known as dead shock. I am considering a new set all the way around. Last week I put a camper shell over my bed, and slid in a huge toolbox, which I out on the opposite side to even the truck out. It worked!!

But still, thats weird huh? I am glad I am not the only one.
If you do change shocks please post what effect it has. Also I referred to a TSB about this and I have now come up with the TSB# GM issued Jan 01 2004 #01712 titled as 'Left front vehicle sits low'. If front of vehicle sits low, opposing rear would sit high. Thus if you fix the front, the rear would also come into balance. My thoughts. John
