So I've been noticing a lot of misalignment issues while working around my truck and wondering if anyone else has seen anything similar with their rig. The bed to be exact.
It first started with the driver side corner bottom of the tailgate. It was there the day I bought it new and figured something was in there rubbing. But it kept getting worse.
Next project comes along and its time for bed stiffeners. Passenger side goes on smoothly. Driver side wont line up with the factory tie down hole
The spacing from the taillights to bumper and tailgate gaps are all greater on the passenger side vs the driver side
And the gap near the hinge. Driver vs Passenger
Sorry for the long winded post. I've been trying to figure out what happened to this thing. It's been like this since I got it with 85 miles on it. Is it possible to have an improperly mounted bed from the factory? Is it possible the frame was bent unloading it and the dealer covered it up?
