Uneven bed after lift help.

Awesome. Figured that would fix it.

 

This isn't true at all

 

If you shim the bed with washers on one side, just be aware that if you shim the front most bolt, it will skew the angle of your bed in relation to your cab. I actually did this intentionally because somehow my bed was at a skewed angle from the cab to begin with.

 

I tried this approach to correct my 3/4" difference in rear fender height and found that it almost made no difference (before and after change was <1/8"). I have recall springs that were flat as paper to begin with, and after 1/2" shim install, the leaf pack on that side looked like they now had a little negative arch. I'm wondering if the frame flex (or resistance to flex) maybe overcame the weak leaf packs strength and forced the springs down instead of forcing the frame up on that side. Therefore I would think the 1/2" shim would be more effective on a stiffer aftermarket leaf pack with more arch than the flat ass oems. I don't know, just a thought.

 

My fix was shims at the point above the rear of the wheel well on the side that was lower. I don't think it was a true fix, just cosmetic. I suspect I tweaked my frame hauling 800lbs of dirt on a unmaintained road, though i cant be sure. It did however make the bed square again, and the dealership did it for free as I said that it may/may not have come that way at purchase. The rear bumper also needed to be adjusted after to match the line of the bed. The shim fix helped with the way it lined up with the rear of the cab too.

 

Anyone know the measurments from the hub to fender with factory suspension and trd sport rims and factory tires?

 

Sorry for bumping an old post.

IronPeak, did they do this for you under warranty or did you pay out of pocket? I have the same issue but the opposite side. I was wondering how much I should expect to pay. Not sure if I should go to the dealer collision center for this or a local body shop.

 

They performed this cosmetic fix for free

 

Were you still under warranty?

 

Yes i had i think around <20kmiles
