I just noticed that our 2018 Yukon XL is leaning to one side...something I noticed with our 2008, which I attributed to age...10 plus years old and 150K plus for miles. I measured wheelwell to the ground on both sides and the passenger side is about 5/8" of an incher lower. Any thoughts?

Funny, it's usually the driver's side.

If you have them maybe an air shock problem? See if they’re inflated the same. As stated my driver side is usually a little lower.

I am assuming your tires are properly inflated. When you measure from center of wheel to your fender what do you get? That will take any variation of tire pressure out of the equation.

Spring wear. I measured mine right before rebuilding the front suspension. When putting the new springs in, I chose the ones ever so slightly longer for the driver's side.

Haven't taken a measurement with the new springs, not done with the rears yet.

Fender Heights - LF 35-1/8, LR 37-11/16, RR 37-7/8, RF 35-1/2

There are hundreds of posts across the internet about this, "Chevy Lean" is one of the terms used.
