I'd be concerned. Might be time for warranty work. IMO...it could be the u-joints.
My SD was making a clunk sound but only when I would let off the go-pedal. Turned out to be u-joints.
Hope this helps...

Could possibly be the rear U-joints like mentioned above, or possibly the springs hitting. Unlikley, but it could also be the bearings in the rear end...they will make this noise you mentioned if they are cooked; but you should notice oil around the axles on either side if they were shot.

This may sound silly but do you have a tonge in your receiver. I had this happen to me soon after I purchased my truck. I went over the RR tracks and kept hearing a thump, I checked the bed bolts, spare tire, etc. Realized I had left the tonge in, removed it and the thud was gone. I realize I'm glutten for punishment making the tonge in the receiver comment.
