Ray,
Those tires look great on your car. I think it's pretty common to have some sideways give in the rearend. However, I would make sure all your control arm bushings are in good shape, or replace them as needed. Are you currently using a rear swaybar?

Thank you. Rear is an 8.8 with adjustable upper and lowers. (Baseline kit). Currently no rear sway bar.

your body bushings are toast and bolts have broken off in the rear so the body is moving on the frame

Is that a common issue? I have body bushing along with front end rebuild parts coming. Need to order the body bolts still. So this means it gonna make my job a tad harder then? I have to check it out. Thank you for the knowledge

it'll probably be more than just changing bolts and bushings. Te frame may need repairing and the body mounts on the body may need rebuilding. You might also consider getting a rotisserie if you have welding experience and are going to be doing the repairs.
