Shock are ok. Can rock truck side to side and create the noise also. Thought it may be bushings.

    I usually find that coming from a ball joint. You can check them with a pry bar under the tire. Watch the joint while lifting up and down.You might see movement or even hear the noise.

    the ball joints on dodges are suspect always but could be control arm bushings also
