07 cab and bed are not lined up straight!!

washing the trucko this last weekend and noticed my cab and bed are not lined up. either the rear of the cab is on the mounts a ~1/2" too far to the passenger side or the front of the bed is too far to the driver's side. now that i've noticed it, it's driving me crazy.

truck has not been abused. i did hit a big dip in the road one time that shook me up pretty good, but i don't think it was enough to bend the fully boxed frame we have..... especially considering some of you guys jump these things in the desert.

i've done body lift kits on older vehicles before and had to shift stuff like this around to get things lined up, but upon evaluating the situation on this truck, i don't see any oblong body mount holes to fix this. i think i'm going to loosen all the body mounts and see if i can straighten this up.......

anyone with tips for this truck??
