you realize changing ride height of l/r spring will effect the rf spring and its ride height.

Perhaps shims between the box and frame? Would a body shop be a good place to have this issue resolved?

Default Mine too

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.

Default Everyone is forgetting fuel

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.

Have your dealer look at Service Bulletin #18-NA-108: Body Structure and/or Suspension Leans to the Left.
Didn't make mine 100%, but better.
