so when accelerating starting at 35mph my rear end jumps and vibrates like crazy until at a steady pace and also if I decide to stomp down on pedal it won't do it any ideas

I guess besides brake stuff, the drive-line U-joints are next as far as what "goes" most often for me.
The frequency/vibration reminds me of a Trout on the line!
Jack one rear wheel. In park move it forward and back with your foot while you watch/feel the two U-joints. No play is OK. I only do the bad one, (probably rear), but others do both. The caps might go pretty easy if you heat the ears, but can be supper tight cold.

Yeah could be ... The slip yolk could be worn or a piece in the T-case? A broken tooth in the rearend? rearend wearing out and telling you about it? Does it clunk hard when putting it in gear?
