I just lowered my dakota 2" in the front and 3" in the back using djm steel lowering blocks it looks and sounds like the bed of my truck is rattling. Wondered if anybody had experienced that before?

Hey i used to think my bed was loose. i found out it wasnt my bed. It was my rear sway bar and my exhaust. My sway bar needed new bushings and my exhaust was just loose and moving around. Check your sway bar and exhaust by shaking it with your hand. it could be that :(

Also check to make sure your shocks are tight. Mine did the same thing, and found out the upper shock mount wasn't tight. Some of the aftermarket shocks are a little smaller width wise. So you may need to slap a washer in there to keep it from moving back and forth.
