Default 10 reg cab standard box bad chevy lean

I've got a 2010 reg cab standard box with drop shackles in the rear.

the truck appears to have cali lean on the dr side and almost stock rake on the pass side.

Is this a known problem due to the fuel tank/driver/steering column etc all being on the dr side?

Is there a fix for this? I like the truck other than the stance but I'm getting close to just selling it because it annoys me every time I look at it from the pass side.

weird thing is all measurements from level ground to wheel well are within 0.25 side/side

I've always thought this was caused by one side of the rear suspension being slightly bound or "loaded" when tighted down. Can also be caused by binding the rear suspension in the same direction many times. For example, my driveway entrance has a rounded curb that I hit at an angle everyday and the truck twists ever so slightly, which binds the rear suspension a bit. I hit it the same way everyday. If I come in at the opposite angle, it evens things out.
Loosen up the rear suspension, jump on the bumper for a while to get it evenly loaded, tighten back up. With everything level of course.
