Possible Suspension Issue

[BigGreen06]

I knew that when I got my truck, I'd have this issue in the rear, but it seems that it may be affecting the front or possibly something else. When I got my truck it came w/ the *camper package*, basically, unless you have one of those bulky inbed campers, the weight isn't sufficient and the rear suspension will bottom out constantly, I know that may sound wierd, but it is true, over a lot of bumps usually the bigger ones, the rear leafs hit the stops and it makes a clunking noise, at first it didn't bother me, but now it seems like it is getting worse, and happening more frequently. I don't know what I can do about that. Also my front suspension seems like it is starting to make noise, from what I am unsure. I do know that when I was offroading 2 weeks ago, I pushed the truck a little hard, and I'm thinking I may have messed something up. I don't know what could be causing the similar clunking noise in the front, and have been planning on going to the dealer, but wanted to ask for some advise here first.

Ironically, I thought that going with a completely different manufacturer, and a model that has been out on the market for a long time, would keep me away from issues, I hope this issn't a big problem and can get fixed easily.

What is that "Camper Package" you referred to? I've got one of those "bulky inbed campers" and have been checking around for the best thing for me to level my load. Most all here suggested I use the air bags. Which I am looking into now. If there is some sort of package that my truck is supposed to have, I sure don't have one, and don't know what one is.

Hope someone has a solution for your prob.

My understanding of the "Camper Package" is that it included extra heavy duty springs in the rear to handle the load, and also make for a better ride. But if you don't have that weight in the back, the package has an adverse effect.
