Dude,
I had the exact same thing with my truck until today. Exactly!

I posted this on another thread, but I will do it again here. This article explains the problem with the "almost perfect" IFS on the GM. Check it out.
I simply had one bad shock (left front) and a broken one (right front). When I took the right one off I could very easily move the cylinder in and out with no effort. This is due to premature failure from the shock bottoming out. Too short of a shock will cause this.
IMO this COULD be what you are dealing with.
