body shift under acceleration
 
i was playing around in snow this morning and went back out after it was all melted going down the high way i noticed every time i let off gas the body kinda nose dives to front right . and under acceleration the whole body shifts to the right rear .. happens any time over 45mph.. any clues?? sway bar bushings and endlinks are good in front. it almost feels like body is shifting from suspenstion???

leaf spring bushings???? that all i can think of, the u bolts are good.

Sway bars connected?

I busted a shock once, it still looked ok unless you really looked at it close. It did the same thing.

Check your leafsprings and re-check the torque on your u-bolts. Sounds like the rearaxle is shifting under the leafs. Just because it /looks/ and /feels/ tight doesnt mean ubolts are tight. Check the centerpins while your there...
