Aligning Bed

How do I go about aligning the bed? What I need to know is how do I go about getting it even on each side? My bed sits way to far to the passenger side so whenever the chassis flexes from uneven ground, the bed scrapes my cab. I've been meaning to do this for a while but am just getting around to it. Also what kind of space should I have between the cab and the bed?

Thanks,
Anthony

Re: Aligning Bed

What we do is to measure to the frame and make both sides equal distance.
This is done after the cab is centered. If your cab is not centered on the frame you may have to align the bed to the cab. I have not measured the distance from the cab to the bed but it is approximately 3/4".
