Default Why does my bed rock on the frame?

I've got a 97 Ram and I am noticing the bed rocks on frame slightly when I am driving on bumpy roads. Is there a washer or some sort of mount/spacer between the bed and the frame that has broken off or worn off? What do I need to do to resolve this?

Thanks!

You're probably noticing it "rocking" because the cab and bed are seperate, mine does the same thing...if it was all one piece, you wouldn't notice it, since the one piece would be moving at the same time.

check the mounting bolts for the bed. they might have vibrated loose over time. not saying they did, but they could have.

Just spent a day replacing the shackles on the bed of my 97 , drivers side rusted completely and spring was up against the bottom of the bed, passenger side was ready to go. This was causing a little rocking, my son who drives it didn't notice it!
