Hi Jeff,
A complete set of instructions for checking ride height and all other aspects of six wheel alignment can be downloaded for free on the GMC page on my web site. The two sides should be the same. Yours are off way too much.

Ok, took it to a parking lot in town. Fairly level, moreso than my driveway anyways. Had the system set to AUTO for my drive down there. I measured from the ground to the bottom of the frame under the slots, and as close as I could get on the left rear with the gen in the way.
Right side: 10.25" front, 9.125" rear
Left side: 9.75" front, 8.75" rear.
I left the right side as-is, lowered the left side rear about 1/2".
I'm wondering if the left side is a bit lower due to having full fuel tanks.
Drove about 15mi, mostly country highway, to pick up some breakfast burritos for dinner. She drove fine to 70mph, just a bit of mild wandering at times, but ......... then she was beginning to vapor lock after sitting at a few lights. Looks like it's time to sleeve the fuel line. Glad I had BMW's the last 4yrs, was a good initiation for GMC ownership!
