Just wondering
Today I went and check the gap between the bed and the cab. I found out that the gap on the driver side is about quarter of an inch wider than the gap on the passenger side. I'm just wondering if the gaps has to be the exactly the same on both sides?

I don't think it's much to be concerned with. But if it really bothers you, go on down to the dealer and measure some other trucks. My money is on none of them being exact.

What possessed you to do that? LOL

Its not that difficult to do, just loosen the bed bolts some and square it up. Is it really noticeable?

Wait till you put some larger tires on your truck and they rub on one side. Then you notice that one front wheel is 1/2" different from the other side when you measure to the bumper... They aren't perfect, but they're the best on the road...

That would be bothersome being able to see the misalignment. Now my interest is up, I've got to see if mine is off as well.

I know the supercabs are normal having unequal gap between cab and the bed.
