Can anyone identify the sound in this video? I’m not sure if it’s the shocks or the bed.

    I tightened down all the bed bolts. Can’t tell if it’s the shocks or maybe even the leaf springs? Anyone else have any idea? The shocks are five years old. The leaf springs are five years old. They got replaced during the recall. The bed was loose until I tightened down the bolts. Disregard the plane flying overhead. Haha.

    I tightened up the spare tire carrier about a month ago. It’s pretty snug but it’s also very rusty. Hmm. I wonder if it’s rubbing somewhere on the carrier. I’ll place the phone directly under it and see what I can deduce from that. I didn’t think of the trailer hitch. It seems solid but maybe I can take it off and see if that makes the sound go away. Thanks!

    Did you install the sheets between your bed mounts? Has this held up? I do have a camper shell on mine and the bed bolt that was loose was in fact, you guessed it, the front passenger side bolt. I'm not sure if that is the sound in the video or not. Tightening up the bolt itself definitely eliminated the camper shell knocking against the cab window.
