My Jeep is shifting fine in all gears.
No problem at all going forwards.
Although, in reverse I hear a clunk noise and the Jeep tries to stop as if I’m hitting a curb. Giving a small amount of gas the rear end dips down.
I’ve jacked up the Jeep and free spun the tires by hand, they feel good no noise.
Put it in reverse and gas it with the tires in the air, No binding or clunking sounds.
But when I sit it back down, I run into the same issue.
Has anyone ran into a similar issue?

I am having this same issue! Were you able to find the culprit?
 
Haven’t had a chance to get my wheels off, but I’m doing tires tomorrow on it hopefully at lunch, and I’ll try to get the drums off to look. My noise decided to go away, so I’m thinking it’s separating shoes/ broken hardware.
