At this point do you KNOW it is the rafters?
Most often what I've seen with uneven roofs is plywood problems. It sags
between the rafters because it's thin, or it was placed/nailed too close
to the edge vs on center. The place I just finished roofing had no
spacing on some plywood ends which caused buckling. One of the planes had
no plywood spacers on the long side with tightly butted edges. Buckling
again.
