Replacing the bed isn't hard at all, I replaced the bed on my dually when I first got it since the cross bars underneath had rotted away and the bed was doing like yours with weight on it. I bought my bed from someone with a car lift so removal and install took no time, the longest time was removing the rusted bolts. The "new" bed from Texas with 0 rust is holding up great so far.
I’m glad to hear someone else had some of the same issues. At least similar. Yours sounds like it was from rust. mine is from I don’t know what. But I don’t want it to happen again. So I think it’s flatbed. I need to transfer the weight to the frame in a way that doesn’t use cheap sheet metal beams that standard truck beds use.
To me, it’s somewhat astonishing to look at what those beams are made out of. It’s a miracle they hold up at all. For anyone.
