Default Adjusting receiver/hitch

My 06 2500's factory receiver seems to be drooping. It does not appear to be bent, it just looks like the angle is down a bit. I read somewhere that it can be adjusted using some combination of the three bolts that hold it to the frame. Can someone direct me to the proper procedure and specs for doing this, or let me know if there is some other way?

Thanks in advance!

Sure someone didn't put too much weight on it?

I can't see how the tilt angle can be adjusted. The bolts pretty much just hold it to the frame.

Have you gotten under the truck to see about the bolt pattern?

I just looked at mine and it seems on each side there is one bolt that goes up through the bed and two that can through the frame. Doesn't look like any adjustability. Maybe yours is bent.

I wouldn't see the point in being able to adjust it either. That could mean that it could come loose and adjust while towing something which wouldn't be good.
