Every once INA while if I slam the accelerator the rear end feels like there is massive play.....? I want to say in the drive shaft...that connects to the rear end? Sorry I'm a n00b don't know all the technical names for parts lol.

Have you checked the pan hard bar?
It connects to the frame on one end and the axle in the other end.

Got any auto enthusiast friends with more experience to drive it around? Definitely look at all four control arms, and the panhard bar.

This image is from a Dodge truck, but has all the pieces.
