Straightening body

[jeep_boss]

Had a little mishap a week and a half ago that I wrote about, which might have caused my Jeep's body to shift slightly.

A guy that I know from a local mom and pop off-road shop recommended that I loosen all of the body mounts a little and gently shake the tub to get it to set back in place.

For anyone that has aligned or realigned a Jeep body, are there any tips you have to ensuring the body is mounted straight? I have some low tech ideas - curious if they line up with anyone else's.

Assuming that the body stayed "square" and it just shifted on all the mounting points, it might make sense that it would work...I would use new body mounts. I would think more than likely though that the body itself is "tweaked" and not square anymore?
