Bed Slightly Unlevel
This may sound stupid but I have noticed, especially in some of the older ford trucks, that the bed is slightly unlevel or tipping to one side. I have a supercab FX4 2004 F-150 and I have this same problem, again it is not really that big of a deal. I'm just curious if anybody else has had this same issue. It is enough that if you look carefully you will notice and yes I'm on level ground. I went to the dealership and looked at all of the trucks there and they seemed to be ok. Would this have to do with how the truck is put together on the assembly line?
Thanks for any help.

I had a 2000 Explorer, that the day I drove it home from the dealer, I noticed it sat low on one side. i took it back to the dealer and they told me it was fine. I had them walk the lot with me to show me another one that sat that way and they couldn't. They wheeled it back to the service department and made some adjustment to the suspension, which took about 10 minutes. They could have saved themselves an hour of arguing about nothing being wrong if they'd have just spent the ten minutes fixing it first.

It really doesn't bother me a whole lot, I just wanted to see if I was alone with this issue. If it continues to get worse or really starts bugging me I will take your advice and shim one side. Although it is worth a shot to go to ford and have them fix it since it is after all a Brand New Truck. I will try ford first. Then go from there, thanks for the replies.
I have not measured it but I will do that also and get back to you.
