Default Horrible ride

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 4x4. Over the last couple months the ride has become horrible like a dump truck. I feel every tiny imperfection in road and truck shimy's and vibrates. I have rotated/balanced tires and put new Rancho shocks on with no change. Have inspected leaf springs /whacked with no obvious damage signs (no cracks, height even on both sides). I have inspected ball joints and tie rods and all are tight and no obvious cracks. Feels like more coming from rear suspension. Have Checked body mounts and appear okay. Have had several mechanics and body shops look at it and they can't pinpoint it. Any ideas before I concede and take to dealer to get bent over? Even if I slammy door shut the truck moves side to side.
