    It might be tire balance. Doesn't take much to get the bed shaking if one or both rear tires are out of balance.

    Serious answer time, I had it happen on the front end and discovered (after getting it back from the body shop) that I had a bent rim. It wasn't apparent just looking at it stationary or even driving at low speeds, but once I got it on the highway it started shaking once I was over about 40mph.

    Me either!. You may have a balance issue on a rear tire.

    even if it did it with 2 different sets of Tires and rims and only on a road that's not perfectly flat.
    on a regular road its fine, but her on a gravel road and the bed looks like it's going to shake itself loose.

    I see what you are saying now.

    I would be looking for a blown or weak shock absorber on the rear.

    it was barely funny the first time and last time i checked this was a truck forum, not a pick up site or a photo swapping site.

    OP I don't know how much your moves around .But the other day I was driving on the rode and looked in my side mirror and noticed that my bed did move some . I believe a sertain amount is normal a specialty for these trucks . They are so light in the back end .

    I never noticed it before, but once I put on a camper shell I noticed the shaking. I'm assuming it's normal!

    x2 on this. I just recently added a leer to mine and noticed how much it was shaking. It also made quite a bit of noise on the 1.5 miles of washboard road i drive on, on the way to my house everyday. Today i torqued down all three of the bolts on the left side holding down the bed since i noticed they were loose. The clunking noise has now subsided, but the shaking im sure will continue
