Check your panhard bar. As the rear end gets lifted/heavier springs (especially when you don't have weight in the back), the panhard bar becomes more angled. When you hit a bump at speed, the body kicks up, extended the springs, and the panhard (if not parallel) will cause the rear axle to shift left/right a bit. When the weight comes back down, the small shift in alignment front to back makes it feel like something kicked your ass to the left a bit.
Since I put a new rack and tent on my roof, this problem mostly went away. On trips the gear in the back also eliminated the problem. Was not a big enough problem for me to want to fix in the past, but a few companies sell brackets that can relocate the mounting position and help re-level the panhard if you feel that it's an issue.
