Frame movement?

Yesterday I took the truck out in the pasture, as I crossed a ditch(diagonaly), I heard a very loud fast banging. When I crossed the ditch it stopped. So I backed up, did it again. So with it bangin, I found the fan was nipping the bottom of the shroud. Nope, the bumper was not in contact with the ground.
Any ideas what might be allowing my fan to make contact with the shroud? A little worrisome.
Thanks

body flexing on the frame some movement is normal if your body mounts are wore out it may move more.

Also, check your motor mounts.

Your radiator (depending on the set up) rests inside rubber strips at the bottom that can wear out before body mounts and allow enough backwards and forward motion to allow the rad/shroud to tilt towards the fan.
