I noticed for the longest time, my pass. side of my 03 denali is 1" higher than driver side. Suspension is all fine, compressor works, its all stock and in great condition. tire pressure is even all around.

why is the back pass side 1" higher and front pass. side is .75" higher?

Because the gas tank is on the drivers side so its sags the truck on that side.
Its a known issue from the 00-2010 truck/Suvs....

well thats crap. Can I adjust my pass side load sensor for the air ride so that it compensates for the difference thus adjusting it so it makes it lower on the pass side ( filling it with less air ).

I evened mine out a bit by LIFTING the lower front corner. That also transfers weight back to the opposite (high) rear corner and evens the truck out both side to side as well as fore and aft.

tighten the torsion bar on that side, probably 1 turn is all it will need. then go drive it around and remeasure the ride height on all 4 corners when you return
.
18mm socket.

two changes:
1: no need to lift or jack up the truck
2: instead of marking a bolt you can not see, mark the socket or socket wrench.
I painted part of my torque wrench silver and marked the other half with black tape, as well as 1/2 the torque wrench body.
I can count 1/2 or full turns confidently.

It's called the GM lean. My 04 Escalade did the same. I heard you can also adjust the air ride linkage, but I did'nt ever mess with it.
