Rear end wobble?
Hey guys my jeep just started to get this strange wobble in the rear end, from when im at a dead stop and start to accelerate. Dosent wobble when im going down the road just from when im at a stop light and give it gas. Generally stops around 5 or 10mph. Checked drive shaft and has no play in it and u joints feel nice and tight!! Let me know what you think!!

I vote Drive line U Joint... Did you check it for play with the vehicle in neutral? Wheels chocked of course. Maybe even jack the rear end up, get the tires off the ground, and spin the drive line by hand.
Could be plain old drive line vibe also. How much lift you running?

Could be a bad leaf spring bushing. I've run into the exact same thing twice and both times it was a bushing that was destroyed. Need to pull all the leaf spring bolts out and check them.
