metalic clunks

I've noticed that when I take right or left turns at slow speeds I hear a series of clunks. Sounds like a pipe rolling in the bed. Guessing it has something to do with the rear springs?? Anyone else have this? Did you fix it? Thanks

I finally got around to fixing the problem I hope. My truck came with 2" lowering shackles on it when I bought it. It squated pretty bad when loaded. I found a set of stock shackles and today I swapped them out. I found that the lowering shackles' bushings were shot! No wonder I heard clunks. Anyways I took care of two issues today. I saw the zerks for the first time today too...
