Weird hop/bounce when driving

So I've been noticing lately that my 03 FX4II has been doing this weird bounce/hop when driving. Every once and a while when driving at a steady speed [35-55mph] it will suddenly hop or bounce. It's as if I went over a little bump or the truck got pushed from behind. Any idea what could be causing this?

Does it have torsion suspension in the front?

Bad tire will do that, band inside is separating, but that should be a steady bounce at certain speeds

Check fluid level in BOTH axles/differentials

Get under it and move parts to see if any are loose

If its doing what I think from How ur explaining mine did that and when I cleaned my maf sensor it stopped. It came back thou cause I had a aftermarket air filter on it. Changed back to stock and it Ran perfect.
