Bed lean
I assumed that it was caused by 15 year old leaf springs that were just getting tired, so I put a set of helper springs and new shocks on it. Rides better now and did level it out a bit, but still have a noticeable amount of drivers side lean to it. I happened to notice that one of the spacers (drivers side) between the frame and the bed is crushed. My question is: Are those spacers replaceable or are they a permanent part of the bed? My only other option here would be to put shims in and try to get it as close to level as possible, which my father-in-law did up front before I got the truck. lol
I have the same problem, but it's my cab that's off kilter. When I looked under my truck I could see the old body bushings were either rotten or missing altogether. So I think I'll replace them with hockey pucks and call it good.

What I would do is remove the bed and cut the weak rusted spots off and weld in heavier pieces and well I was at it clean the frame up a bit and under the box and paint it with some rock quard or bed liner.
