Bed Alignment

[aaron_ariens]

My ranger had been involved in a rear end accident, not a big deal, and I got it for super cheap. I got a new bed placed on it, and it's like, a couple inches to the left. It's not to obvious, should I just let it go, or is there something I can do? It looks the same as it did with the old bed, after the crash, minus the smashed in side.

so your bed is shifted to one side?
you can pay someone to have it pulled to the other side you sure its just your bed and not your frame thats bent?
if its just a pull you need it wil probably cost you around $500

$500? wow, I did mine for free with an impact wrench and a t55 bit, one could do it with a breaker bar instead. Just loosen up the 6 bed bolts (carefully as you can break the nut clips), and push/ pull the bed as as close as you can in line with the cab, IIRC there is about 2.5" of play in the mounts.

if the bed is the only thing out of wack it should be a pretty easy fix if its his frame thats bent its going to cost quite a bit of dough
