I will measure from frame to rear diff on each side to determine if it's centered tonight.
How many body mount bolts are holding it in place?
Also, where would be a safe place to pull from on the body if needed? Behind the rear rocker panel?

Thx Mike

You don't want to be adjusting the rear axle to fit the sheetmetal, you adjust sheetmetal to fit the chassis.

If the body isn't seated square, and your body mounts are able to be backed out, you could loosen the bolts, and use a come-along to pull the body to where it needs to be. However the rear axle placement needs to be confirmed beforehand.
