Squeaking from bed?

[S197Mach1]

So I'm noticing I have some squeaking when the bed bounces while going over bumps in the road. What do you think is the culprit and is it something I could easily lubricate or tighten?

A lot of guys have found that this noise is actually coming from the tailgate. Here is a thread that you can search through that might help with some other ideas:

tailgate seems to get a lot of squeak complaints, good place to start

As long as it's not keeping the neighbors awake don't worry about it.

Figured it out. A little lithium grease on the pegs where the tailgate grasps when it is up solved the squeaks.

Mine ended up being a loose bolt that mounts the passenger rear spring to the front spring mount. Took forever. There is also a cast iron damper on top of the drivers side rear frame near the tailgate. Some have reported that the rubber mounts deteriorated and the damper squeaked.
