I also second assembling it on the floor and then putting it on. There is less chance of banging a cab skin or dropping a box side. Plus, with the 1 ton (as I have) as the sills are bolted to the bed side and this provides very good pickup points. I have a homemade overhead crane with two chainfall hoists on it. I used 4 ratchet straps at 4 corners and this enabled me to pick hat bed up laser level, roll the truck under it, and very easily, precisely and independently install the bed myself.
Once on, readjust as necessary, but if you took your time on the floor and it’s square, it should slide right down and on.
