Default Popping nose from front end

Hi,
I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 Hemi 2wd. I have a popping nose sometimes when I seat in the truck and hit bumps. Does any one know what may be causing this noise?

Thanks,
Tim

maybe the shocks. i know the stock ones are crap. i just replaced mine but i have an 02 quad cab. the rubber mounts on the top of the shocks were so rotted out that it was metal to metal. and it made a noise on every bumb or even just jumping in the drivers seat. i replaced mine with KYB Performance plus, not the best shocks in the world. but it made a HUGE difference in the way it drives and were only $280 for all four. i can go over dips and bumps that i would normally bottem out on. also handling has improved and freeway driving is better. i dont get the bouncing anymore, but that would be the rear shocks though.
