rear end bounce

I just replaced my big 33x12.5x16.5 wheels and tires with 16" alloy wheels and Dunlops partially to eliminate an annoying bounce I get at 35-40 mph and again at 60-70mph. It's still there. I have checked the E brake cables twice thinking that they are dragging and re-balanced the rear wheels to no avail. It feels like the right rear wheel is bouncing almost like it's out of round. I'm about to haul our horses to Virginia next week and really want to get rid of this problem - it's not quite as bad with the weight of the gooseneck.
Is it possible that this is a bearing problem or, worse, differential - I hope not - I've already spent a ton of $$$ on the wheels, brakes, fan belt, etc., etc. !
