Exclamation What the...

Today I saw on the freeway an F-150 that was prerunnered(higher in the front). His entire bed was shaking like no tomorrow. I was wondering what would cause such a horrific sight? If I weren't a f-150 owner, I would think that these trucks were made poorly. Seriously, the bed looked as if is was going to fall off.

Bent wheel? Chopped tires? Did he have his suspension painted? Maybe he forgot a few bolts when putting the bed back on..hehe.

You mention it was a pre-runner...
Possibly he had fiberglass bed sides. Sometimes they are a bit flimsy and shake on the freeway.
