For every GM that I've lifted, I have had this same thing happen. One bolt is always in more than the other.
The ironic part is out all the vehicles I have ever done, yesterday, I installed the torsion bars, cranked the bolts back in the same distance and the truck is the EXACT same height all the way around. Usually, one side is 1/2-3/4" lower than the other side. No measuring, no fuss, no muss, just bolt in and it worked perfect. (for once)
I did however back the bolts down 4 full turns and the truck rides better and didn't change in height at all.
Today I had an alignment and tonight I order my tires. After much discussion, measuring and thought, I have decided to go with the Toyo's again in 40".
They're great tires (though I would have liked to have a more aggressive look) and hopefully I won't have to trim anything. (keeping fingers crossed)
