Im guessing that either the motor mount or the rear axel bolts are loose or broken.

What does that have to do with the transmission downshifting and front if the truck pulling right?

I would try using somewhat proper sentences and explain better what's happening. What speed is this happening? What gear drop is it? Is it while you slowing down or a completely random down shift? Where the 'pop' noise coming from: tranny or wheel?
