i used a air over hydraulic floor jack right underneath the rear of the front slide where frame crossmembers meet.  i jacked it up until the skin aligned and the rivet holes lines up.  i measured and it was jacked up 3 1/2 inches.

then i cleared out all the old holes and used a harbor freight air rivet gun (which worked fantastic) and put in the same sized small rivets in the old holes.  

then i drilled new holes and put larger steel mandrel rivets in.  i did two rivets in between each set of old rivets.  then used the air riveter again 

let the coach down and it held nicely.  i still have to put silicon on the rivet heads to stop water intrusion.  i will also caulk the seam.  i also have to put back on the round plastic discs.  

next is to do something similar to align the skin behind the rear slide
