So i just got new rims and i noticed how one side stick farther out on the pass side then the driver. i tried to adjust the bed but ran out of adjustment. is there a way replace the little spacers underneath the bolts with more oval ones for more adjustment? or does anyone have any suggestions. Here are some pics of what im talking about.

The whole bed is cocked. My truck had the same problem. I loosened the six bolts in the bed pushed it all the way forward and got out a tape and centered it up. Mine wasn't out more that a quarter of an inch in any one spot. But that little amount Made a big difference.

I lossened all the bolts and tried to adjust everything. What is your gap from the bed to the cab. Mines about 1.5 + or - 1/8 inch or so.

so did it end up lining up correctly after you guys loosened the bed bolts and evened it out? or did it only help a little?

My passenger side sticks out a tad more, haven't gotten around to messing with it but it does irritate me

4 days!? Damn. Well I haven't messed with it again but I got a felling I'm going to have to make some custom spacers that go between the need and frame so I can get more adjustment
Keep us up to date on what the dealer does for u please.

well just relooked at the holes. no way to make a different spacer they are part of the bed. i dont know why toyota did make these sleeves more oval for adjustment.
