I actually like the rear of the trim slightly higher,... so it DOES run in a straight line. To me it looks better.
I would suggest mounting the bed on the truck, with all body lines shimmed to your liking.
Then lay out the trim.
I've seen some trucks, where the trim was added to the bed while it was off the truck,... and looked terrible when installed.
I know of a couple reputable truck builders that raise the rear of the upper trim to make it flow better "visually".
