Go Duck Hunters!!! 
I love to hunt....
Have you lifted the front axle to see if the wheel bearing assemblies are bad? Have you checked the ball joints?
Also, have you checked that the hubs were actually unlocked by checking the axle rotation? If the axles can't spin freely, then the hubs are the culprit.

I see...
Try the axle shafts first. See if they're free.
Only other thing is maybe the LS rear didn't get the proper friction modifier, but you should feel it on a hard turn forward also.

Your truck is pretty new to have the problem that I think it has. If it is still under warranty I would take it to the dealer.
If it were a little older truck I would rigjht away suspect inadequate limited slip additive. Chattering in slow reverse tight turns is almost the textbook example of the major symptom.
On an 06 I don't know but older models used about 2 tubes of LS additive. I use I think Stalube PowerLoc. It looks like a fat tube of toothpaste and meets the Ford spec.
Your door sticker should have a code for the differntial which you can then look up in the manual. The differential also usually has a metal tag with something like ###LS###. The LS means you have it.
Also could be you are low on fluid. There was also a TSB on the Drive shaft slip joints not slipping and needing some Silicon grease.
Good Luck,
