Bed re-alignment...easy to do???

The bed on the '06 is not square with the cab, it needs to be moved approx 1/4" back towards the driver's side to makes things right.
so what all does it take for me to put it where it should be?? any dos or don'ts to make it easier??

thanks for any help

Bed

I am not sure if they are adjustable. The nuts are mounted on box.
Look at the holes underneath you will see the the head for the bolts.
Loosen all the bolts and see if you can move bed.

Yea, you can move em' around a bit, have put many fuel pumps in the gassers and had to line a few back up where I couldn't see the marks from the old ones.

I had an '04 ram 1500 that was crooked.Turned out it wasn't the bed but rather the cab.I tried adjusting the bed first but it only gave me about half of what I needed so I loosened the cab mounts and got things back in line. It wasn't hard, it took me about an hour (because I'm picky) with the proper size wrench, small pointed prybar, and ALOT of eyeballing.....
