Truck banging shock question
I have an 05 ram 1500 4x4 and a year ago i replaced all 4 shocks with rancho 5000 shocks and i didnt notice any diff over the stock shocks. Im a daily driver and i never go off road and i was told the rancho shocks are more of an off road type shock and i wouldnt notice a diff from just normal driving. So now after a year im getting a banging noise when i go over any size bumps from small to big and i found that when i add weight to the bed like 2 50 pounds bags of play sand the banging tupe sound goes away. Do i need new stiffer shocks or? What a good shock for the daily driver?

If your getting that bed loose rattle sound I would lean more toward squeaky leaf springs over the shocks. Or possibly like mentioned above a loose shock mount bolt. I've had that before in my old chevy and it was about the same sounds as you described now that I think about it. Haha so first check your shock mounts.
