Not sure. I'm guessing some sort of counterweight.

It's the thing that is supposed to get rid of bed shake but doesn't really work on most trucks... Or at least I haven't seen it. Look around at some F150s going over bumps in the road. The bed jumps around. That is supposed to help. Although some people have the problem and others don't...

Is that a factory or aftermarket component?

Factory "vibration damper". Not all trucks have them though.
