Default dent

so i was at a concert today and i got to my car and noticed a palm sized dent on my bed where it goes out above the wheel well, and i have no idea how to get it popped out, it wont let my hand go up there and i dont really feel like going to a body shop and paying for it any ideas would help

How deep? Could you use a suction cup of sorts to pull it or is it beyond that?

Try a suction cup on it before doing anything else, often it'll pop it right back out and you'd never know there was a dent there...

thats what i was thinking about doing cuase its not like a crease or anythign and the paints fine the only way i saw it was becuase the parking structure lights were on and it really drew attention to it at night you cant really notice it, this may sound real redneck but what about like a plunger?

You could give these guys a try: Dent Wizards

I've noticed a lot of Dodge dealerships are listed as service areas for this. It looks to be about $130 to $180 for complete removal including buffing the paint afterwards.

If suction cups don't work, see a paintless dent removal place. They can do wonders and cheap as long as the paint is good.
