Check ALL rear spring pack mounting points on Both sides. You may have broke a mount off the frame, or mounting bolt. look real close for evidence of a loose spring pack mount rubbing against the frame.

One more thing -
If the rear swings to the left under acceleration, then the right side is loose. If the rear goes right, suspect the left side.

Yep. Either way, your truck is a dangerous thing to have on the road right now. It's only a matter of time before the other side snaps and the rear axle goes out from under the truck. Like Jason said, get under there and inspect it real good. And have someone standing by to help in case it drops on you while you're under (or put some jack stands under the frame.
