On my 05 it's kinda been bothering me. Looking at the indent that follows the top side of the rocker panels the box appears to sit about a half inch higher then the cab. Its the same on both sides. Would this be caused by failing cab mounts? Or is there a way to adjust this somehow with washers or something?
Thanks Cory.

How old is the truck? How many miles? Get some new urethane body mount bushings for the cab of the truck.

Are you the original owner? I'm thinking maybe it was in an accident where they removed one or the other and either put new bushings on half or put them in the wrong order. Maybe to many washers or even used the wrong ones or something?

Its an 05 and it has 100k on it and yes it was hit in the drivers side rear of the cab. I have before pics of it and after. They replaced the two drivers side doors and that was it. I know the box can't go down any its sitting on the frame just behind the front mounts. So I'm thinking it'd just end up being easiest to place a washer or two on the 2 rear cab mounts.
