The rear end on my truck seems like its loose, when you move it back in forth and its in gear, you can see the rear end twist up like its a broken spring, I looked at the springs and they seem ok. Has anyone else ever had this problem before?

Probably. Jack it up so the rear end hangs and figure out what springs are broke.
Or( more likely) the ubolts are stripped and not clamping the springpack to the axle very well.

FIX it now! It's not safe to drive.

How much is it twisting? Some axle wrap is normal.

it moves about 3 inches and you can hear a clunk(sometimes) when you take off like a bad universal but its not that..whenever this weather would clear up, I will jack up the rear end and see what the problem is...
