Cab and bed misaligned anyone else?

I noticed today that the driver side cab sticks out about 3/4 inch further out than the bed. On the passenger side the cab and bed are flush. Anyone else notice this on their 17'? I only noticed it when I looked back at my back door on the driver side and it didn't looked closed so that's when I got out and noticed. Could I loosen the cab bolts and try to move it over? I measured from the frame to the truck bed and it's even on both sides. So then I measured from the cab edges on the bottom to the frame and yep it was a little over a half inch difference. Any suggestions?

My front passenger door is like that. The doors are bent from the hinges if I had to guess.

Mine is off just enough that I can't put the collars on the 5th wheel pucks. I figured the dealer got it misaligned when they did the bedliner. I'm gonna contact them this week about it.

yeah I was thinking that too but they sprayed the bolts when they put my Bedliner in so I don't think they had unbolted it. I'm leaning more to it actually being my cab itself that is misaligned. I guess I'm gonna bring it to the dealership Monday and see what they say

My 07 was the same way when I bought it brand new.Ford said it was within spec so I had to pay a body shop to center my cab on the frame.

I see they still cant get it right...

My 14 was misaligned, but my 17 isn't. In fact, overall, the workmanship on my 17 seems to be uperior to the 14.
