Worn out springs

As suggested, check out everything that is a wear item. I have seen early ('99-'04) Super Duties with 300k on stock leafs, and still not 'worn out'.
Leaf spring eye bushings, however, do give up, along with sway bar end links, shock bushings, panhard bar bushings, etc.
The stock leaves look like they are de-arched from the factory, and sometimes this is mistaken for 'worn out'.

Does the banging noise sound like someone thumping the underside of the cab with a rubber mallet? Usually when you hit a bump that rocks the truck a little? 99% of the time its your sway bar bushings. If they're as bad as mine are, you can rock the truck and see the play in the bushings. At this age, most of the factory rubber is worn out/shot anyway and worth replacing.
