This is more 'defined' when using a 9", fyi. The reason this is done by GM is so that the axles are the same length, less parts to manufacture.
Some correct this by making the rear overall shorter, and using a spacer on the drivers side. Others just live with it the way it is.

I have never heard of anyone doing this. Especially without finding out why it's off although it is common to find 1/2" difference. It is usually fixed by making a few minor adjustments but nothing as extreme as have a new axle housing made.
