body to frame question

I've got just my cab mounted to the frame, new bushings and torqued to spec. I have my frame perfectly level, but the cab in not level. Should I put some shims under the cab to level it out? Let me know if you need any more info to help me with this question. Thanks!

Re: body to frame question

My cab mounts were a little tweaked also. You are going to have to hang the fenders and set the bed on there to see where it needs to be. If it was me (and your truck looks like your avatar), I would not sweat it until you are ready to do final fitment of the body.
Mine was painted when I shimmed it to line up correctly.

Agreed. Hang the fenders before any adjustments or shimming. I`ve done
a few of these and always hang the fenders then torque them all together.
