08 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab rwd with 25,000 miles. I have been feeling bumps like going over road reflectors where there are no bumps, feels mostly like right rear. I have recent Cooper Discoverer AT 3's @35psi and recent Monroe Reflex shocks. I checked and lubed the rear shackles and just had the tire store check it out and rebalance all four tires, no change. This started happening after a very rough patch of freeway. Could there be a problem with the rear leaf springs ?

Not silly at all. Almost the first thing I did, I have a white pebble driveway, I'm the guy throwing rocks on the highway so I had checked for anything sticking out. I had the tire place check for flat spotting but they said the tires were perfect. I'm going to put it up on jack stands and put it in gear to see if there is any wobble. Thanks !

Reset the shackles today. Loosened the bolts, raised the frame to straighten them out, set the truck down on it's own weight and tightened to 59 year old man torque specs. Unfortunately on the test drive, I think I forgot what a normal ride is. It did seem like each bump was just each bump and not three……to be continued.
