Ahhhh the Chevy lean... very common apparently and more noticeable on some cars... I had the same problem and no matter what I did, nothing fixed it... My problem was in the front driver when I lowered mine on LT1 pro-kit springs... I ended up having to add washers to driver sway bar end links and torqueing down more than passenger side. After some trial and error got it dead on and didn't notice any differences in performance. Just a thought on what I had to go through...GL

I also have a slight lean. The passenger front is just under a quarter inch lower than the driver side.
Driver side fender at wheel centerline: just under 26 7/8"
Passenger side fender at wheel centerline: 26 5/8"
I'm on 1LE springs with KYB AGX adjustables. Tires on both sides are same brand and age/mileage. Both inflated to 32psi/cold.

One of the theories here is that they sit higher on the driver side to compensate for the driver being in the car. But as far as I've ever been aware of, no one can say for sure what the deal is. I've noticed it seems to be pretty equal as far as which side sits higher because I've seen quite a few people complaining about the passenger side sitting higher.
I've never seen any real explanation to the problem, let alone a solution. Plus I don't have the knowledge to offer any advice, but the first response seems like the best one I've heard thus far.
