Default Drivetrain slop

Ok i dont know if its just my truck but ever since i have had it, it has had horrible driveline slop. I have checked everything including u-joints, carrier bearing, etc and the only thing i can come up with is axle wrap type situation. I am thinking real serious about slappin some traction bars on and have looked at the caltracs and cant decide what would be best. I like the traction bars for the looks though, but thats a different thing. I would like to just get rid of this slop. What do you guys think? Anything i may have looked over that needs addressed?

transmission input shaft splines wear, output shaft splines wear, driveshaft yoke splines wear, differential yoke splines wear, ring gear backlash, axle splines, and actually wheel bearings can all cause slop if bad enough or if just a little of each can amount to a whole lot overall.
