Transmission/rear end ?
When I get to around 45-50 mph I feel the truck hopping in the rear end. Its not a violent feeling but just a up and down motion. You can turn around and look and almost see it looking at the top of the tailgate. Speed lower and higher than that and everything is smooth. I have a 8in suspension lift and went to local shop and the guy said could be a broken spring or bad shock. There isnt any broken spring and find it hard to believe a shock would have anything to do with it. I got so frustrated w/ it I stopped by the Home Depot and bought 6 80# bags quick crete and put on the azz end and still does the same thing. Any suggestion?
Also, (not sure if could be connected) Im have a prob with my overdrive the last couple weeks. First time it goes into overdrive in the morning there is a bucking sensation (not smooth at all) I prees the pedal for it to down shift and let her shift back into overdrive and everything is smooth. Sometimes I have to do it twice but after that the rest of the day overdrive shifts and runs fine. Any help greatly apprecited

I have replaced the u joints and carrier bearing still does the same thing ( the hoping in the rear) . A shock would really suprise me but will check i would think that after ptting 480 lbs on concrete in the back and doin the same thing that would rule the shock out. The trans is a real concern. I'm running 40 in tires on the truck now. U think it is shifting into overdrive to quick at a low speed because of the tires?
