Have you verified that everything you installed is still tight? What kind of small bumps? Low speed like a whoop? High speed like a pothole? Steering shaft will rattle when you hit bumps, but I have no idea what you mean about the truck dropping hard to the ground. What does the noise sound like? Sheet metal rattling? Does the truck dart when it clunks?

Also check the shock mount bolts. I had some KYBs where the upper mount/bushing was barely larger than the stock Bilsteins and it bounced on the bolt. You could see it hitting by pushing the bumper up and down.

Yes like metal clinking together
