Going over "little" bumps I can a knocking or rattling under my feet while driving. Its very minor and not a cause for concern but its new and annoying as hell. Any places to start looking?

I'd get under the truck and start looking/grabbing for anything loose. Shake the skid plates, sway bar, look for anything rubbing like park brake cable and wiring harnesses. I'd also look for small rocks wedged in between components like skid plates/chassis/t-case and trans mount/ exhaust shields/suspension joints.

To add what Pirate said, I use a rubber mallet and hit the suspension parts while someone is inside listening for the rattle

My feed truck was doing this last month so I decided to take it to a local tire dealer who then proceeded to convince me that I needed all the following. My ******* still hurts.
