Put in one bulb at a time and test to see which one causes the blow. At least you can start narrowing it down that way.

Its not uncommon for one of the filaments in the bulb to touch the other causing issues .
Any work been done on truck lately , on a lift , maybe wire got pinched .
An other is sometimes a trailer wiring gets shorted for a number of reasons , just rust/moisture .
