Truck bed sagging by tailgate, trouble closing tailgate

I haul & cut firewood w/ my '02 Tacoma 4 door short bed. My bed is sagging near the tailgate which bows the quarter panels closer or towards each other. This has caused problems closing my tailgate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

do you have pics?

 

Mcraney, do not have pics right now. I may be able to get some later today.

 

Sounds like the floor is buckling at the tailgate pulling the the bed sides inwards. Post pictures.

 

fletch aka, you are correct. I will try to post some pics later today.

 

Maybe you could put some rienforcements under the bed back there, so it doesnt bow?

 

Evertaco, that's what I would think as well. I thought I might find someone on here w/ the same issue and direct me to the correct way to do it. I'll be looking into it. Thanks

 

How's the frame?

 

Janster, the frame is OK.

 

Consider buying leafsprings?



I really have no idea what I am talking about, its just a guess

 

Leaf springs are fine
