U joint or differental issues?

Hey guys I got a serious problems. Everytime I back up the truck seems to bounce up and down violently. Funny thing is when the top is off you would hardly noticed it!! Going forward is completely fine no issues that i know of?
Could my diff angle be off some how? or changed with the additional weight of the top?

What to do? Im perplexed!!!!

Check the angles and see:

Have someone back the truck up while you watch from outside. You may have loose u-bolts, worn spring bushings, worn parts in the driveshaft, or even broken tranny or motor mounts. See if you can see what is moving around and start from there.
