Have a friend or family member jounce the front of the truck. Have it parked with the parking brake on of coarse. While the truck is getting bounced, you get under it and start listening for sounds. If you're unable to identify where the sound is coming from, you're bringing a knife to a gunfight. You need to actually listen for the sound and find it before you start replacing a bunch of things that could possibly not even be the problem. Like i always say, throwing parts at it isn't going to fix it- diagnose it!!

If all else fails.. grab a can of brake cleaner and WD-40, and spray every moving part in your suspension. First clean with brake cleaner and then lubricate with wd-40. Spray things like control arm bushing, sway bar bushings, shock bushings, leaf spring eye bushings, the brackets that keep the leaf springs straight etc etc.
