Default Tired of the GM lean!

I'm soooooo tired of the freakin' GM lean. I've heard that using a lowering shackle on one side only will level things out. Only problem is that I was told to get an adjustable one, and I can't seem to find any online. Are they adjustable by nature, or is there a certain type of adjustable shackle that people used that is no longer available?

My truck is over 1" lower on the driver's front than the passenger front, and the rear is even farther off IIRC.

My belltech shackles are adjustable in the nature that there are 3 options that you can bolt them up by. Like 3 holes for different levels. I have never seen a true adjustable shackle though so maybe that's what they are talking about.

Those coilovers are only for the 07+ GMT900's, not the 800's.

Check Stylin' Concepts. They have a Belltech coil spacer listed for the 99-06 trucks. Its 0.75" tall. The shackle might work better though.
Here's the link:

But I don't want the rear any higher than it already is. Would lowering the highest rear side even everything out?
