I'd go ahead and check your bump stops. If they are worn out, your truck could very well be bottoming out.

I got new bump stops from rockauto.com. However, mine is 4wd, I don't know what you've got, but if it's a 2wd, the bump stops may be different. New shocks may help, but it depends on how they are valved if they can slow the truck down enough before it bottoms out.
