    well, checked over my rear tires. no bulges/bubbles anywhere so I am assuming my tires are good. What would be another cause to bed shaking? I feel it after I am goin 50mph+

    I would rotate the tires from the rear to the front to make sure for one. Does it shake when you have a load in the bed or just empty? Are your shocks still good in the rear? Short of that I would be looking for a broke bolt on the body lift.

    well i had the tires full rotated back in march, so I am prolly due for a rotation. It shakes whether I have a load or not, but isn't as hard when loaded, almost not noticeable. I think my shocks are still good in the rear. I have only had them on for 50k, but I have worked them hard. maybe its just time to replace them. Thanks, I'll check that out and look at the BL a bit better.

    what about checking the rear shock mounts. i had something similar happen on my truck maybe 2000 miles after putting on my shocks. the bottom bolt and nut were a little loose on both of them. i tightened them back up and it hasn't happened since. since the shock had some movement side to side and not just up and down, it was causing the shakiness

    :hmm: i'll check that out. I might have knocked a shock/bolt lose when I almost flipped my truck at the texas meet (6:40 into the video). thanks for the help guys! I'll check over all this stuff tonight and see what I find out.

    i would go through and tighten all the bolts for the leaks also. i started tightening everything back there to solve the shaking since i put the shocks on just after my rear blocks. couldn't hurt to check it all anyway and make sure the bushings are all good
