My suspension rattles & makes a lot of noise while driving in the city i.e. over small bumps etc. Are there any common bolts that become loose or anything that needs to be tighten? Any particular areas? The rattles mainly comes from under the bed or around the rear axle.

Is it possible you're hearing the spare tire chain?

This^

Also, check to make sure the spare tire itself isn't slightly loose. Mine loosened up once and it made all sorts of noise

I'll check this out this weekend.

Thanks!

Another idea:
Do you have the Utilitrack in your bed...and if so, are the plastic bed-track inserts slid in? These can slide fore/aft (mostly aft) and make a racket over bumps. IFF so, simply remove them for a proper troubleshoot.

I have them. I want to say there are plastic black inserts at the end of them towards the tailgate. Sometimes I have seen them move around but the sounds I am hearing sound more suspension related. I'll definitely check it out!

Do you think it's possible to put my GoPro underneath my truck to capture video? I don't know how well the audio will work due to the protective case around it. I am just thinking outside the box.

^Just use the open back case. Will get audio no problem. Just try and have it face forward for less wind noise

Update: Rattle looks to have been fixed whenever my two rear shocks were replaced - they were leaking oil at 105k miles.

Thanks for the update. 105k is pretty good for shocks btw. Typical life of a shock is only about 60-80k.

My "rattle" is broken leafson one side. I've been told this was caused by my 3"AAL kit being on worn out springs...Anyone else have similar issues?
