This has been an issue for a few years but I've only recently noticed it after driving a buddy's new Ram.
When impacting a bump, the truck vibrates for a second instead of just a quick thud.
It's much smoother with 100+lbs of load in the bed.

My friends Dodge is so much smoother. It hits a bump and its just one up down movement of the suspension.
Mine is about 5 up downs that gradually fade. (or at least that is what it feels like)

All the body bushing bolts are snug. I've tried replacing all the shocks and shock bushings with no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help fellas!

It's an '04, have the front suspension components been replaced/checked? I had a Jeep Cherokee that would shake like a leaf over the smallest bumps, it needed basically all new suspension parts in the front end. Check your tie rods, ball joints, end links, etc...

Thanks @brokenarrow, All front components were replaced in 2014 but I'll double check. Could this still be the case if hauling 100lbs in the bed eliminates the issue?
