Question why does my box shake

my box shakes when traveling about 60 but if i load my atv in the back it rides like a dream, could my shocks be bad or tires. so theres a vibration unloaded at 60 mph then loaded no vibration. what is the problem. thought it was my tires but not sure now.

Mine doesn't rattle at all. May want to make sure all the bed to frame mounts are still tight.

my dads 08 150 doesnt shake at all. what did they use different to correct this. i have a spray in liner in the box so its going to be difficult to check the bed bolts.

my 06 shakes without any load in it also i think it is supposed to be like that because theese trucks have such a rigid frame and suspension i think and i could be wrong that my bed is actually mounted on some sort of bushing for this reason!!

Mine shakes as well. I have just attributed it to the crap *** pirelli tires. Will see if it goes away when I can get some replacements.

I think so too. I think I remember reading that here before.

I thought it was the old tires because the dealer put junk ones on but it didnt go away with new tires.
