rearend of my truck is "spooling" up or "winding" up

I have 4.5" of suspension lift and 35" tires with a 22re and 4.88 gears. When I accelerate it feels like the rearend of my truck is "spooling" up or "winding" up. I am not sure what is causing this and how to fix it?

Oh and it is a single cab pickup

Spooling up? From this it sounds like a slipping clutch. Is this an auto or a 5 speed.

It is a 5 speed, Im pretty sure its not the clutch. Its getting plenty of power and its moving. It feels like the suspension is winding up or something. I had a pro Toyota shop put in a centerforce clutch.

I am not hard on the gas, and it does it all the time. every time you go from a dead stop. you will feel it stop once you get to about 10 mph

It feels like the rear axle is rolling forward and compressing the suspension and then rolling back to normal and it kinda of makes it hop while it unswists. This is what I think is happening. I am not really sure.

I am going to re-check everything tomorrow. Bolts, drive shaft, springs, grease. On big trucks they put the strut things from the center of the truck on the frame to the axle would that help?

I know on full size trucks that if you grease the drive shaft slip joint that will be the source so I am going to try that as well.

After googlin axle wrap I understand what axle wrap is and what an anti wrap bar is. Are there any types or things that I want to make sure that it has? Wear and how do I want it to be mounted and does anybody have any experience with this on their rig?
