Truck leans to left
My 2017 CCSB 4x4 colorado has that lean also.It is not in the box or bumper.the difference can be measured from leaf spring to frame on mine.
diff at wheel wells is betwwen 5/8 and 1 inch depending on how I pull into carport.
Diff from spring to frame is 3/8 to 7/16.
I have been trying to figure this out so that I will hit level on my overloads when I install them.

The fuel tank is on the left side. 21 gallons will be about 150 lbs. If factory springs are the same both left and right, I would expect a slight difference.
Plus the transfer case is offset to the left as well.
If someone has access to portable scales, like the ones that DOT uses for roadside safety inspections, it would be interesting to see which side the two
heaviest wheels are on.

My 2017 Colorado truck box lean to the left. The passenger side is 7/8 in higher when measured at the black stripe on the bumper. No the bumper is not out of alignment. The dealer says it is an optical illusion. That they are all like that. Needless to say I am disappointed. Is there some place I could take the truck to get this corrected near Englewood, FL?
Didn't make mine 100%, but better.
The infamous "Chevy Lean" does not appear to be a thing for my 1996 C1500 - but is sure obvious in my 2006 Silverado 1500.
