I don't understand your term..."shifting". As FatOeknee stated it could be wheel hop, which is rear spring issues.

Or if your cruising down the road 35 mph to 55 or so mph. Then you plant you foot in it and the rear "shifts", does it clunk?? car change lanes?? vere to one side or another?? bounce??

A little more info would help.

I noticed it the most when i was driving highway and hammer it 35-60 mph it does not clunk, the car wants to vere to one side or pull to it. And yes it does want to change lanes a bit when i hammer it. There is no bounce at all.

I was told last night that it could be u bolts, Leafsprings, Bushings, Shackle or he said the T axle loose? it has traction bars on it also. I dont feel it as much off the line but 25-60mph and hammer it then it pulls, and vere's to the other lane a bit it just does not feel right?.

Which direction does it pull/shift? (i.e. which direction does the rear end seem to want to go?)
I'm far from an expert, but this doesent sound to me like a case of "one-wheel-wonder", especially since it doesent involve wheelspin. I would think its more likely that under heavy load one or more of the bushings in the rear suspension are flexing, allowing the rearend to get out of alignment. I would check them again, and make sure to clean them off so road grime isnt hiding a cracked/worn bushing.

BTW are you using lift shackels? I've always heard they were bad, but never any specifics. Maybe they flex?

Just my .02
