This is very strange and I just can't figure it out. The gap between the cab and the bed is larger at the top than at the bottom and when you stand back you can clearly see that the bed lines are at an angle downward compared to the cab lines. I first noticed this about 8 months ago and I've looked at older pictures just after the SAS that show the bed and body in perfect alignment. So, first thought would be sagging body mounts either on the cab or bed, but I just can't find any problems with the mounts. Keep in mind the body lines match up, so neither the cab or the bed as sagged downward at the rear of the cab or the front of the bed. If there is a body mount problem it would have to be either at the front of the cab, which looks perfectly fine or the middle and rear bed mounts which also look fine.

So, now I'm thinking the frame must be bent at the rear. I do carry a lot of weight, although never over the maximum GVW. Two things come to mind. I used to carry a heavy rear tire/gas can rack and I relocated the rear spring mount about 5" forward when I added 56" springs. I'm wondering if the excess weight on the rear of the frame and relocating the springs could have possibly affected the frame.

Another thing, there is a slight gap between the frame, inside the rear wheelwell and the two body mounts that do not bolt down to the frame.

Take a look at the pictures, and tell me what you think. Any other ways to figure this out and if it is bent, what should I do?



Here you see the slight gap between the frame and bed mounts. Is this normal on a Toyota pick-up?



Here you see the front bed mounts look perfectly fine. Both sides look the same.



Also the rear mounts look good.



Thanks for any ideas.
