Hey everyone I got a avalanche ltz 2007 and my question is why is the driver side is lower than the passager
 
How much lower it is. ???
 
Easy answer is if the original shocks and springs have never been changed most vehicles will be lower on driver side since it is occupied and driven by a driver at all times, the AV may not have passengers on every trip though so it sags less on that side. The gas tank is more on the driver side so it will sag due to weight of a full tank of gas, then you also have different weight distribution in side storage bins and bed to consider as well.
 
The shocks have been change there new but the spring have not and I also change the height level sensor on both side but nothing it the same and is about one inch apart and sorry im new at this

Get a tape measure and actually measure from the ground to the top of the wheel well on all 4 wheels.

Oh yeah make sure you are on level ground.
