Is it shaking back and forth? If so make sure you dont have a split in a tire. I knew a fella that had a shacking from the rear of his truck and it was due toi a tire being split.

Could be anything from trans mount, loose u bolts on the leaf springs, u joints, rear diff... etc.
Check the U bolts. Sounds like axle wrap to me.
