It's not too expensive to have a shop get the truck on a frame machine and measure the frame to check everything out. I've had it done before after shifting my bumpstomp support a smidge, luckily it was all still to spec.

You could measure things yourself and see if anything is out of whack. Sunday is a good day to swing by the dealership and measure a new one on the lot and compare it to yours.
One easy measurement is to measure from the center of the front rim to the back and then check that against the other side, I have seen repaired vehicles come off the frame machine and still have a different measurement from side to side. You could also measure your box from corner to corner and compare those measurements.

A steelers fan I like it! :fuckyea:

As for the gap in the tail gate that can happen from just regular off road driving. Because the bedside flex so much you'll get a spread at the too of the tailgate so the gap will be uneven. To help fix that TMX makes a bed stabilizer to keep things in line! I have a set and my bed spread was off almost an inch I didn't think it would be that bad but then again I never noticed it till someone pointed it out but now it's all in line and good!!

Here's the link to my how too! Extremely easy to install!

Justvettn I just went out and mesaured during halftime. From what I could tell (granted just a tape measure) They measured exactly the same. I assume that is a very good sign
