Rear End Shudder

When I accelerate up a hill the rear end of my truck starts hopping usually around the 60 mph mark. The last time this happened, I was towing my 26' travel trailer over Mt. Hood Pass. I decided to conduct a couple of experiments. I pulled over and disconnected the Edge EZ Power chip. On the next hill I accelerated to the 60 mph and no shuddering. OK maybe it's a power/torque issue. So I reconnected the chip and disconnected the towing stabilization system to put more weight on the rear end. At the next hill I accelerated to 60 mph and again no more hopping. I pulled over the reconnected the towing stabilization system and took off. The hopping was back on the next hill. Any ideas?
