New cab mounts and the box still sites way higher

If the cab is lower on that line then you need to replace the cab mounts with the correct height pieces and possibly shim it to match. It's all kinds of fun because the radiator support bushings under the nose are part of the mix. Don't loosen the door hinges. Play with the body bushings til the doors line up the way they do right now then re-align the nose to door body gap.

If your bed has anything of consequence between the frame and bed someone probably did a body lift. Worth looking at. 1/4" chunks of rubber don't count. :-) Lots easier to pull the lift blocks out from under the bed than replace the cab mounts.

I was commenting about how I deal with the door gaps when patching cab corners and rockers in the hopes it would be useful. I wasn't trying to be obnoxious about that door gap.

I got the the body lines dam near perfect now. Had to shim the cab up about a 1/4 inch in the rear. I have come to the conclusion that the box side are pushed in and up making look like the cab is sagging..
