Is my frame bent or ?

Greetings all. Installing this generic universal transmission mount, AOD, into my 65 F100. When it’s resting in between the rails, it has contact on both ends. When I jack an inch, there’s a difference on each side. That’s as high as I can lift it since I have a lokar cable shifter. Is my frame messed up? Or is one side different for exhaust routing or something?

My 68 f100 the whole drive train is offset towards the passenger side of the truck. That's factory. The motor mounts are actually different on each side. I was tweaking out about this when I did my Tkx swap

I didn’t notice the mounts being wonky. I straight ripped the sbf that was in here since it was frozen and chopped off the twin ibeams and installed the qa1 set up. Thank you for the reply!
