The bed should sit level on the frame and all mounting points equally share the support of the bed when installed. If your frame is tweaked so the bed to frame mounting points are not all exactly in the same plane, you may have to adjust some points up or down to accomplish this. The sketch in this instruction http://www.mar-k.com/bed_mounting_information.pdf will illustrate the idea.
