Started to notice at the top of the bed rail on the drivers side the bed is creasing and denting. There’s about 5-6 of them and nothing has been on that side of the truck. I noticed one last hunt season and this past weekend I noticed roughly 5 more. I seem CJC offers bed support kits but no way in hell am I paying $400-500 for them I see ADD does too but only for f150. Next I seen NH overland has some for ram hd. Anyone tried those out or experienced this problem?

Can you show us any photo's of issue you're seeing?
 
wasn’t able to get good angles so you can’t tell. I’ll see if I can capture some today. They’re at the top of the rail, just below the plastic cap. Passenger side doesn’t have any, only the drivers.
 
Found the problem. It was a broken bed V post that secures it to the frame snapped leaving it loose. I will have to extract it and already ordered the new part off MOPAR Giants for 30 bucks delivered.

Not sure if I’m truly driving the truck that hard off road or it was a defect. Or a combination of the Arizona heat and driving hard off-road because my lower grill is cracked and several other plastic parts are all cracked as well for example the little splash shields in front of the rear tires. Kind of bummed out because I had the truck ceramic coated, and the roof is looking a little rough. Damn heat. I know this particular post is metal and not plastic. Just surprised I guess.
