Ok long story short.. on 4wd mode it the "right rear wheel" shakes @ 30mph+. But when I switch it back to 2wd mode and drive it 30mph plus, it doesn't. Obviously it has something to do with the rear diff/axles spinning causing the "RIGHT REAR WHEEL" to shake. Anybody else have ever encounter this type of problem with their RT4WD?

Try rotating the wheel to the front and see if the problem goes with it.
Next try jacking up the wheel, grip it side to side, and try to rock it. It should be solid. If it wiggles, look around at the suspension and try to find where the play is coming from. It may be the wheel bearing which is inside the hub. Also try rocking from top to bottom.

try getting the wheel re-balanced, being off by 50oz can cause a pretty big problem. if that doesnt work then do as others have suggested and shake your wheel, if it wobbles bad then ball joint(when shaking extend your arms and lock them, then move you arms forward and backward). Lastly if that doesnt work then its your axel adn you will have to replace it, goodluck.
