Ram 2500 Sitting Unlevel

Back in December I was rear-ended in the left corner of my truck. I just got my truck back from the body shop last Monday and I realized my truck bed was higher on the left side compared to the right. I returned my truck to the body shop Tuesday morning and they took it to the Ram dealership where a technician told them that he has seen several trucks from the factory that did not sit level. My question to you guys is does any of your trucks sit unlevel or do you think the technician is going crazy? I did not notice my truck sitting unlevel before the accident and I am leaning towards the wreck bending the rear left part of my frame upward. Thoughts???

Also, this accident bent the left trailing arms and trailing mounting bracket on the rear axle. Another problem that still exist after replacing the trailing arms and rear axle is the rear tires iare turned to the right 0.33degrees per the Ram dealership alignment report.
 
How much higher is higher on the left? The 0.33 degree thrust angle on the rear axle may be within factory spec but I'd want it as close to zero as posible. Did the dealer comment on that?

I swear I noticed one side of my bed higher than the other by how off the contours are between bed and cab. Ive not been in any accident or off road since getting the truck lost August. I'll try to snap some pics
