that's where I'm leaning towards as the fix, as crappy as I feel about it.

I know my frame is straight. The cab could be a little tweaked as it sat on blown out rubber mounts for who knows how long.

Either way, I think I want to do like a 1/2" body lift overall, so I am thinking about going ahead and ensuring the cab is level to frame then adding 1/2" to that. Then I'll need to remeasure the bed and lift the bed the correct amount- something around an inch. Sucks as I don't like body lifts, but thats what it looking like.

I need to see what this will all do to bumper alignments. The round eye front bumper is essentially not adjustable- so I'm curious how this will work out.
