Do they make braces to stiffen up the bed side in front of the rear wheels like the older trucks had the bottom of the bed side is extremely flexible in front of the rear wheels don't like how it flexes in and out so much

I’m sure something could be added. However it’s not structural, just exterior sheet metal

I have a high bed rack with a roof top tent and awning. Even going over bumps that shake the rack I've never seen the bed sides flexing? In the event you're leaning against them and they're flexing I can only suggest you avoid doing that?

I can flex it easily just by hand found this out when I was removing ice from the wheel well noticed how badly the bed side flexes back and forth with little effort

Yeah that's the aluminum. On the plus side it won't rust!
