crooked bed

[Boris the Gray]

I have been scouring the web for any thing and no luck. So I signed up and gonna ask the Gladiator Forum. Has anyone else had a problem with their bed getting knocked out of alignment with the body/cab of their truck?
The frame is not bent. I took it to a frame shop had it leveled and measured. Not the frame.
Had the bed off the truck none of the channels at the mounting points appear to be bent or compressed.
I have a couple of theories but they defy logic.
Happened during a wheeling trip that saw some rock ledges contacting the rear lower control arm frame side brackets. Nothing that I haven't seen other encounter without issue.

Did you find the answer? I’m having the same issue.

I mean, the frames bent. Nothing else it could really be. Doesn't matter if the frame shop said it's level, it may be level and out of factory geometry.

Look at the body mounts for the bed. see any thing there?

nope. resigned myself to its bent. have seen worse on an overlander rig with spare tire carrier and gas cans hooked to the bumper... it was sent to be bent back to spec... didn't look any better than mine once complete...
