    Im assuming shocks cause it sounds like your shaking a chainlink fence under the truck when you run bumps.

    Edit, tested shocks, they seem fine.. creeking & ricketing from the front passenger when you rock on it, sounds like a fence when you drive though.

    well I would bounce test your shocks. Then jack the front up and inspect the ball joints.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    fence creek is typical of a balljoint that is low/out of grease. and you have a UPPER ball joint on the Upper Control arm (entire assembly needs to be replaced for that swap), you have a tie rod ball joint (more than likely what the dealer swapped), and you have a Lower Ball Joint located on the Lower Control arm (this will need to be pressed out, goodyear is inexpensive and good at this).
