Default what could this be

I have a 97 4.6 and while I'm driving on the highway going anywhere between 40 and 60, it drives a little rough it feels like I'm getting a massage or something lol and when I'm at a complete stop and I press the gas to go there is this squeaking noise that feels like its coming from underneath the truck where I am. The noise goes away when I get to about 30 but thats when it shakes a little. Any idea what this could be?

Could be a bound up u joint, pull the shaft and flex both joints in both directions and feel for any stiffness. If found replace them with good quality parts and enjoy the ride.
