It's time to change your rear U-joint. Also when you change it make sure the drive shaft angles are not too extreme! Let us know how it turned out!!

You're right. Never hurts to change those rear u-joints. also the higher you lift the truck, the more of an angle you get on the shaft and "axle wrap" occurs. it is more like a clunk although it can shudder a bit too.
