I agree that you likely won't see a measurable increase in fuel mileage from the truck riding a couple inches higher or lower in the rear.
....I think that your proposed aerodynamics mitigation would probably be completely swamped by numerous other issues: driving style (good/bad); perfect tire inflation; perfect/terrible wheel alignment; perfectly/imperfectly tuned engine; weather conditions (extreme cold, strong headwinds, etc, etc, etc); terrain slope (flat/hilly/downright mountainous); and many, many other issues.
I think that it would be practically impossible to tease-out any canted rig aerodynamic benefits from all the above situations (unless you were testing in a 100% controlled environment).
