Default Rear tires bounce during sharper turns??

So I have a 4.5 lift and 32" hankook mts on pacer wheels. I'm wondering why my rear end tends to bounce during u turns or other sharper turns. Could it be my stance??

Either you are in 4wd or you have some sort of locker in the rear. Only reasons the back tires will bounce... Can you get a video of what its doing?

Even if something was loose it still wouldnt bounce, just sway.
