Been reading a ton posts about the shaking bed problem on these trucks...... has anyone figured out a solution yet?

If you are unaware, the bed visibly shakes on a smooth road usually most noticeable at the 60mph speed. You can also lift the tailgate a few inches and drop it and feel and see the bed shake.

Before anyone responds, yes I have two new tires, all wheels recently balanced, and had a 4-wheel alignment done. None helped the bed shaking. Also had it inspected to be sure all bed bolts were in good.

Thanks!

I gave up trying to find a problem and instead bought a tool box and filled it with my jack and assorted tools. The weight keeps the bed still at any speed! Plus with the all the tools in the box I'm prepared for any road side emergency!!

Mine does it too, with noise on rough roads, etc. Everything's tight so I didn't worry about it. Didn't know it was a common problem.

the noise is prolly the leaf springs. thats what mine is at least. how much does the bed move?
