Rear End bounce

I have a 97 f150 4x4 with 85,000 miles, and sometimes when i accerate hard or around corners, I notice a my rear end bounces sometimes. I figure I need new shocks in the rear. I already installed a new rear end in it. (someone hit my truck). I figure it was a rear end prob. but since i installed my new rear end it still there. so I am fig. it the shocks. I have installed new tires last feb. so the treads are good.

axle wrap perhaps? Might need new leaf springs or some ladder/traction bars. Are you lifted or anything?

Only around corners? Are your rims dented/ off balanced, mud or something in them, that will make em bounce, or drive shaft unbalanced. Could be many things

i will try shocks first, I already had my tires rebalanced and new leaf springs put in. No, my truck doesnt have any lift kits installed.
