Front end Level?

Hey all,

Just got my '97 EB Expy with LLS back from the body shop after a mishap my daughter had. I just happened to notice when I was near the truck that it's not level from left to right at the front end, the drivers side looks slightly higher. Studying it a bit I confirmed that I can see more suspension under the bumper on the driver's side. At least to my eye it's off.

Is this normal? Are others Expy's with LLS and similar years (say '97 to '99) level between the passenger and driver's side? I never noticed it before, but frankly I never studied it either. And I know the height is set by the positioning of the LLS sensors, and each front wheel has one, so it could be as simple as correctly positioning both sensors. I was also wondering if it could be off a little on purpose because I'd been the driver and gotten out, but it should have settled to it's parked position.

I took a quick tape measure from the ground to the top of the wheel well and they seem off by .5 to .75 inches between the two sides, but honestly I need to do it more precisely because it's simple to hit different places on the wheel well and get different measurements. Maybe I should do a measure from ground to the chassis. The repairs were to the drivers fender/bumper/grill, so I am wondering if it's off from the repairs and before I give it up again to have it checked out I want to evaluate whether it is a problem compared to normal.

Thanks in advance!
