My truck used to lean quite a bit. I thought the frame was bent from an old accident. I paid a guy $1200 to straighten the frame. When he'd finished it still leaned. Then he put a spacer of some kind under one corner of the bed -the lean was then quite grotesque. Finaly I looked at the bushings and saw they were broken down/missing completely. I removed his bed spacer and installed new bushings and all was well.

Now comes the question: Was the frame bent in the first place and what did the guy do for $1200 (actually two questions)?

I'm the guy he saw coming.
