Default 13 fx4 bed shake /bounce

When I look at the top edges of my bed in the mirrors while driving, it shakes quite a bit up and down on the rear driver side over bumps and expansion joints. I would guess 1/4 to 1/2 inch most of the time. it shakes way less on the passenger side.

I've noticed this since I bought the truck new. Can anything be done to minimize this or is is just normal vibrations on these trucks?

The 04-08s were a lot worse! I didn't really notice it on my 09 and haven't on my 11 unless the bump was pretty extreme. You should have someone else drive your truck while you follow. I think looking in the mirror magnifies things since it also vibrates as well as your head to some degree!
