Hop In Reverse

Today I had my tractor and flat bed on. Juast got back from a job, went to back in the driveway and when I eased out on the clutch my truck would jerk and hop. I did this a couple more times to make sure it wasn't me. This is the first time it's ever done this. Haven't had any clutch slippage either. I have about 36,000 on the clock. What do you guys think of this?
Thanks Wayne

Axle wrap is my guess. There is about 5 threads going now on how these trucks jump and hop in the snow or sand. You weren’t in some mud or slipping on stones were you? The springs are long and soft on these trucks to they have a good ride when empty.

Mine hopped the worst while in reverse this winter season. I plan on installing my traction bars this weekend...

I wasn't in loose gravel or mud. This was on dry pavement. Mine is 2 w/d. How much do these traction bars cost, and is it something I can do myself?
Thanks
