Welcome Visitor! Please take a few seconds and 
just take your time, it's not that hard, tighten everything up snug, then move the bumpers around so they look right, then tighten everything up little by little, sometimes when you tighten it really tight, it will twist the bumpers and make it look off... i would do the cab before the box, also, try to get the cab as close to lined up as possible, before you do the box, then get the final touches on lining it up with the box...
MEASURE EVERYTHING, i would even measure where the bumpers sit compared to the headlights and fenders... everything...
it's not hard, it just takes time and a little but if finesse, maybe a little time as a perfectionist... do it right the first time so you don't look at your bumper a week later and notice it's crooked and looks like ass and get pissed at yourself
OH!!!! and you CANNOT use your bumper for towing after you lift it, this goes back to the DOT regulations (see my post in another thread) the relocation brackets that come with the PA kit are NOT DOT approved, even though they look stronger to me, they are not rated (read officially designed or approved) for any weight, therefor the liability lies on you if anything happens... if you have a receiver hitch, don't worry about this, though your receiver hitch will hang down below the bumper and look a little funny... this can be modded to make it sit right, but again, not DOT approved (although you could argue that you bought the truck that way, and were told it was safe)
edit: actually, thinking about it, if you do the hitch lift mod yourself, all but the welding, and get the welding done by a licensed welding shop, they should be able to stamp it certifying that it is a legal structural weld and you are no longer liable for anything, this is the route you should do if you have this problem...
