I was out driving today and stared hearing a thump thump.........thump thump, in the front of my truck. It was pretty subtle but you could definitely hear and feel it while the vehicle was in motion (in the pedal and steering wheel) and my wife also said she heard and felt it in the floor of the back seat. It is not loud enough to be heard over the motor while excelerating. I have never heard it before today, I have a 2015 1500 4x4 with Bilsteins at 2.5 inch and 35 inch tires. Any advice or insight would be appreciated!

Only thing that come to mind off hand is to check your ball joints. I knew they had issues in 2013-2014 (not sure if it carried over to the 15s) with the coil spacers lifts and the ball joint poping out. I haven't herd of the issue with the bills but it would be a good idea to check it out.

Could be belt separation in a tire. Had it happen more than once
