Check the U joints on your front drive shaft. I have had the centering kit on the double cardian style front drive shaft go out and cause the drive shaft to swing around wildly.

Also check the axle u-joints to f or looseness or damage.

I was thinking the same thing but I kinda ruled them out as they rotate when ever the truck is moving regardless of being in 4wheel or 2 wheel drive.

But things change when lock and torque is place on them.

I have also had something like this happen on my jeep happen when I sheered off teeth on the front spider gears. On that rig, I got very good at replacing them all the time.
