    I ran Kanes Creek in Moab. Happened to me on Hamburger Hill. Very small dent where the bed hit the cab on both sides. These frames flex alot more than you think. Good luck with your truck.

    Yeah I get it I too notice my bed on my truck sits closer to the cab on one side than the other drives me nuts . I had to use ratchet strap to push my bed sides back in a 1/4 inch overloaded with camping gear lol

    I only ran Fins N Things in Moab, but did a couple more trails in the Hurricane area that flexed the truck more.
    I'm honestly not that concerned with the damage (even though the truck only has 3k miles, lol), just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything that would help prevent/mitigate in the future.

    I think sliders are the best frame stiffening upgrade you can do without going to boxing up a frame which brings it's own problems.

    That's what I was thinking. Wow. If that was my truck it would be sickening and hilarious at the same time.

    I actually had this happen on my 1st gen. Bad enough to where it cracked the paint on both sides. It was somewhat hard to notice, the cracked paint is the only way I noticed in the first place. The dents were very uniform too. Before I got rid of the truck, I was going to repaint it and just leave the dents there.
