Default jerking problem at 40-50 mph

does anyone know why my 03 f150 jerks when im driving anywhere between 40-50 mph. it continues to jerks if I stay at that steady speed but stops as I start to accelarate..

Can you explain jerking a little better... Is it steering, or wheels, or suspension...

well everything on mine is stock now except for 33 nitto mud grapplers on my factory rims i had 20's and 35 but it didnt do it when they was on there and its like when your running around 45 or 50 and go to ease on it it feels like a slip or a jump of something i dont know if it is coming from the rear end or trannsmission but i would love to figure out what it is. It is getting worse

Does it have a rhythm or is it just random...

i just have tires/rims and exhaust. it does jerk in a rhythm and continues to do so untill I accelarat or ease off the gas.. i just had my trans serviced a few weeks ago too, but the problem is still here..
