Frame rail dimensions / squareness

Frame rail dimensions / squareness
Just putting this here since people remove/replace them for space.
I was taking measurements of the space in between the rails, and found them to be different at the top than they are at the bottom.
27 9/16" (27.56xx") was what I measured at the top edge of the rails.
28" was about what I had measured at the bottom edge of the rails.
My centerline of the sway bar mounts is very close (within .02") to the manual spec of 30.0".
This would mean the rails are not square at this point. It doesn't really bother me that they aren't....but are they supposed to be a little off?
I took a bubble level and checked the frame rail, and it was a decent amount off from being 90 degrees.
Can anyone confirm anything I've posted? Or can take a couple measurements if there is easy access?
