Re: Bed and cab

1/ Check the cab mount on passenger side...it may be collapsed and rotted, dropping that side.

2/ If this is a new build and someone put cab mounts in, they may not have set the height correctly...

3/ You can always add large washers between the top of the cab mount and floor to align the body lines....

4/ Someone may have added replacement bed cross rails that are not the correct height...

Just my initial thoughts...

Re: Bed and cab

Make sure the body support rubber bushes are installed correctly and are not collapsed...if they are in good condition the only option is to add spacer washers between the top of the bushing and the floor....

This can happen when the floor of the cab and the body mounts were not setup correctly before being replaced....

Also...make sure the bed is tightened down fully on the passenger side front mount point...I have seen these bed twist enough to throw off the body alignment lines.

Re: Bed and cab

Interesting the body lines in that original pic are in line...pointing to some mis alignment during rebuild...
