I over stated how far off your is. A half inch side to side is not way off, it is just off and would be best to get it right. Adjusting ride height is an iterative process. Measure, adjust, drive two to five miles to fully settle the suspension, measure, adjust again, etc. until you get it right. Weight balance also plays a role so if you can, do a six wheel weigh and balance the load, especially side to side as best as you can even before the ride height check. While it has been covered many times in the past it is absolute, not relative ride height that is important. All of the things like the anti dive, cv joint alignment, etc. we're designed in at the absolute ride height specified. One can make a coach go straight down the road at just about any ride height, but everything will be off from the designer's intent at anything other than absolute ride height.
Download the Align it right! Presentation I gave at the GMCWS rally at Casa de Fruta, CA from the GMC page on my web site to find out why all this stuff matters so much.
