Default Truck bed alingment...???

Took a walk around my truck today and noticed the bed is sitting a little bit crooked!!! It is a 2010 lariat crew. Any ideas on how the bed can be adjusted?

In which direction? Side to side? That's normal and a full tank of gas or empty could cause that. If its bent towards or away from the cab of your truck you could possibly have a tweaked frame. Show us a picture of possible.

Side to side. right behind the cab on the passengers side it sticks out a about 1/8 to a 1/4 inch more than the drivers side. Will post a pic when i get a chance.

Ooooh crooked like that... yeah I'm not sure how you would solve that and I get **** about things like that too but you got to keep telling yourself that nobody else is going to notice that on your truck. lol

Huh? This issue has been going on since the 2009's came out and IIRC this hasn't been resolved. Please post a pic of the bolts and we can decide from there....

Sorey no pics drop in bed liner there are 4 torx head bolts 2 in front 2 in rear that go through the floor of the bed in to the frame to hold the bed down the bolt holes are over size to allow adjustment Bubbabud.

Interesting. I have a drop-in as well and my bed is out of alignment. Going to take my liner out and make the adjustment next weekend as it bothers me....
