Popping noise from rear of truck.

My truck makes a popping noise from the rear of my truck when I'm turning and hit some ruff road or if I go up a driveway with an angle that makes my suspension articulate a bit. It sounds like it is from the rearend. Is this common with these trucks?

Mine makes a lot of funny noises too, esp when cold. This is my first Dodge and I just assumed it was built-in.

It has 30,000 miles on it. I've never seen u-joints fail this early. If thats what it is.

My ujoints failed that early... But when mine is cold it lets out a clunks of sorts when I start moving the first time. I think it's a leaf spring clanging around.
