Stange - I noticed there are rubber 'spacers' on the rear two bolts which connect the bed to the frame, the rest there are none between the bed and the frame. I did locate the source of my vibration however.

There is a length of metal between the rear bumper and the edge of the bed. (Because the tow reciever moved the bumper back a bit) I assume it's there to cover up any wiring and make the truck look a bit more appealing - i.e. no gap between the bumper and bed. The metal piece was 'bowed' slightly in the center, causing it to vibrate when the truck was idling.

I drilled a hole and simply dropped down a 1/4-20 bolt and nut, that cured the issue.

About those rear 'mounts' however. Think I should remove them? I dont really see why they are there.
