My bed is higher on the driver side. Making me think it might have a bent frame. So i jacked it up and put it on jackstands. and it straightened up. Is it possible that a bad shock could cause the bed to be tweaked? Or something else major?

A broken shock shouldn't do that, I'd look at the leaf springs, might have a busted mount.

All the body mounts for the bed seem to be tight, I noticed that the body line at the cab and bed on the drivers side are mis-aligned. The leafs look to be ok but I'm no expert. Could one be weaker and causing sag? I'll just put the whole damn truck on stands to see if everthing straightens out. The front of the bed at the cab seems to be straight. Just the back driver side is higher and the front drivers is lower. Ahh I'll just take pictures its easier to explain that way.
