I'm able to push it up and down about 2-3" by myself. Been reading how the bed bolts could be rusted or broken. I don't have a garage or driveway, so I can't leave it taken apart for long in the street. Just wondering if anyone knows what might be going wrong before I take the bed liner out to investigate further.

Thanks

 

You will need to pull out the bed liner first, then you will be able to see the 6 bolts that hold the bed to the frame

If bed has rusted out around the bolts or at the front of the bed then there will be a problem in fixing that, replacement bed may be needed, 1993-2011 Ranger used the same beds, regular or extended cab are the same 6ft beds

Or you maybe able to cut out a section of a damaged bed, at wrecking yard, and have a shop cut out the rusted section and weld in the replacement section

But you won't know until you can see whats going on

I doubt the bolts broke, its possible just not as likely as the rust issue
