i noticed today when i cleaning the tb that the driver front is lower than the pass. theres about a 1/2in difference and it might even be effecting the pass. back as well. what could this be from? i have the gf lowering kit and it was professional installed. how do i fix this or what???

That is interesting. Chevy had this same problem with the S-10 trucks. Some aftermarket companies made a Left and Right front spring to compensate for the difference ( about 1/2" ). Im not sure of the exact cause, but it has been around for a long time with the earlier style trucks. Unless somebody goofed up somewhere on the installation of your GF springs, you are probably not the only one with a little lean in your Trailblazer suspension. I may go out and measure mine later today just to find out if the stock suspension has any lean.

There is a reason for it, but I dont remember why. :confused:
You had an alignment not long after your truck was lowered ( after it settled ) ? As long as it is in alignment, you dont have anything to worry about. If it is a problem, you could always cut a little off the coil and have it re-aligned when it is evened out.
