Keep in mind that the body is not in direct contact with the frame. The first step in dealing with body lean is to measure the distance between the frame and the rear axle/lower ball joint. Way more often than not these are in spec if the vehicle has not been wrecked.
Body mounts compress over time. You can also get differing hardness between batches, which impacts how much they compress over time.

Ok so I pulled it into my garage to recheck. And here’s the measurements. Measurements from ground to wheel well centered on wheels.
front left 39.5
front right 39.75
rear left 39
rear right 39.25
so looks like driver side leans .25” from front and back.
im guessing it is in tolerance of having the gas tank on this side and only .25”

I had the same problem when i removed my blocks, driver side was higher by an inch after removal. Called my buddy whos pretty good mechanically and he said its very common with the chevy(called chevy lean lol). We chatted and he asked what side my tank was on and if it was full and sure enough it was empty and on the drivers side. Got gas the next day and it dropped to about 1/2" off now.
