rear end moves

Some time back i slaped my truck into drive when i wasent waching and my rear end poped off of the centerbolts sence the u-bolts were loose. I got new u-bolts and my axle set fine but if im at a stand still and slam on the gas in drive my rear end moves.

When it moves one tire will be closer to the back of the truck than the other tire and the hole axle will move more out out wards than the tire closer to the back of the truck.

and some times my u-join will rub to but if i power brake it in R it will move it back to its normal spot or close to.

Could bad bushing or springs or shocks do this ? im told it might be bushings
or i have a bent leaf or i have bent shakels or somethings... I hope some
one has had this happen befor sence no one i talk to has a real idea on what
could be happening.

I droped the rear end and checked my blocks and centerbolts and both were
fine. I just started to realy see what has ben goin on in my rear end.

My truck is a 98 F150 with 4x4 offroad pack im pretty sure.
