Set cab same distance side to side on frame.

Question is does cab have to be level or just set level to frame ?
I would say that the cab should be parallel to the frame. So, if you have the frame level, then make the cab level, it will be parallel to the frame. Or you can just make the cab parallel to the frame - if you have some rake in the stance of your truck, then the frame will not normally be level, it will be higher in the rear.
