I measured the box and it is level front to back and left to right. I measured the cab and the drivers front and back is 1" lower than the passenger side. I want to fix the problem. Need input.

There is no rot in the truck. The frame sits level. The box sits level. The exact difference is 3/4 inch in the cab. There are no shims between the cab bottom and the frame top. I plan to shim the one side. It may make the problem worse. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 239 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 239 | I removed the bolts and jacked up the one side of the cab. Placed shims between the cab and the frame. Replaced the bolts. The cab now sits level. As you said that there will be other areas that will be affected. The front end sits fine. The hood opens and closes fine. I'll need to adjust the door. | | |
