Bent bed?

My bed is higher on the RH front side than the other and is higher on the rear LH side than the other. Is there a way to correct it? shimming or something? has anyone done this? I bought this truck with about 20K on it and I just happened to notice that it was missing a couple bed bolts when I leaned against it a couple years ago. I replaced them and all of the sudden now, I see that its crooked, like almost an inch from one side to the other in the front and near 2" on the rear. Is there rubber mounts in there?

Nope! No rubber mounts. Steel underframe on the bed rests on the truck's frame. If it doesn't line up, something's been twisted.
