Default bed twisting?

Has anyone ever had any problems with the frame twisting under load or the bed twisting on these trucks? I thinks its because my driveway is sloped a little bit but i have a trailer on with a good bit of firewood(ive managed to twist the hell out of it to this week). And the bed has a slight(around an inch) of twist. Am i being delerious or is this a problem?

I saw someone else on here (it may have been Sean) say these frames are very flexy and have a tendency to do things like tht. Can't remember for sure tho

From my experience it'll go back. I've had mine twisted to point where the doors didn't even wanna close a few times
