Not sure if it's common practice, but it was my way of getting the drive train as close to perfect as possible. These trucks had a large build tolerance, and I'm sure my truck was within spec but I wanted things as close as possible.
FWIW, another thing I did on the rear axle was to add a short lift block to have the ride height level. In those blocks I installed the locating pin 5/8" further back to center the axle better in the wheel arch opening. For some reason, GM put the axles too far forward which is real noticeable with larger tires. In fact, one side is 5/8" rearward and the other side is only 1/2" because of the build tolerance in either the body or frame.
