Welcome to the Site. You will find a ton of info here.
I would get a tape measure and recored the height of each wheel well. Do it in your garage so you have a flat surface. I would assume the drivers side should be just a bit higher as the engineers wanted to compensate for the 32 Gallon gas tank and the weight of the driver to level it out.

I have measured and it is at the center of tire from ground to body. The truck is quarter to half inch off. Could some others measure and post your results. Thanks.

Likely well within tolerance. I know on the Jeeps, 1" difference between corners was considered normal. I had this issue on our last Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I would say 1/4" you can not measure. This is because tire pressure or uneven tire wear will account for 1/4" by itself. Check these first. Then, if you were off by more thanb 1", you would have a broken or weak spring. Otherwise you are likely OK.
