I didn't technically buy the Brother's Kit...I used the CPP frame stiffening brackets and followed the Brother's process. I haven't welded it in yet, so after I read your question I tried your suggestion and nothing moved. Those C-channel stiffeners are beefy and a tight fit in the frame. I checked the frame rails with a level as a straightedge and both sides are identically straight.
I did notice the same problem with the corner being high before I ever cut the frame. I think it's just more noticeable now that the end of the bed is 20" closer to the cab. I'm pretty confident its a twist in the frame and that the frame shop can straighten it out. The truck also has a pretty good driver's side lean, maybe the frame work will help with that too.
