We are new members. We purchased a used 2003 800 to fit on a 2004 dodge dually. We put tape on therail to help guide but found that was difficult as the rear end has an offset compartment on the drivers side(bath area) so center is not center. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

If you're backing under to load it "by eye", watch the edge of that box (offset compartment) and aim the edge of the truck tailgate opening about 1/2-inch off the box.
It will get you close.

Put tape strips on the front of the back wall panel that you "aim" your bed sides toward. They should be the same distance in from the outside edge.
