Suspension dimensions

[Running Fast]

Hi guys,
I'm a suspension newb but I have been doing my homework.

Brand new 2018 2500HD 4x4

I am considering a Zone 3" lift or just doing a level (maybe with just keys, might add UCAs) Lemme know what you suggest.
I currently have LT265/70R17 on stock 17" x 7 1/2" with 44 offset.

looking to go to 34" on 18" x 9" with about a 24 offset

I measured my clearances from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fenders.
Here's what I got:

Drvr Frnt - 24 5/8" 
Pass Frnt - 25 3/8" 
Difference between fronts - 3/4"

Drvr Rear - 27 3/4"
Pass Rear - 27 3/8" 
Difference between Rear - 3/8"

Diff F/R Driver side - 3 1/8" 
Diff F/R Pass Side - 2"

I know (i think) I can equal out the front by adjusting the driver torsion key to raise the driver side up 3/4"
What do I do about the 3/8" difference in the rear dimensions?
or am I being too picky?

I am a little anal when it comes to my new Chevy. 

Please advise on all or any of the above.

Thanks in advance
Steve

Okay, so I measured again, this time on level pavement from the ground with 3/4 tank of gas

Difference between fronts - 5/16" DF lower

Difference between Rear - 9/16"  DR lower

Diff F/R Driver side - 2 3/4" 
Diff F/R Pass Side - 3"
