Its because when you are going in reverse, the motion of the rear wheels try to "unwind" the springs. Tthe springs are wound so that their force is being used when going forward (the motion of the truck moving forward compresses the springs) and when you go in reverse, the motion of the truck tries to "unwind" the springs. Once the weight of the truck is lightened or taken off the springs, they tend to bounce.
