How are you testing the props to decide they are good, looking isnt enough.

Does it only do it when slowing down, not pulling off from standstill?

Check diff/transfer box backlash and halfshafts for wear I suppose.

A hand brake drum that is sticking just a bit can give these symptoms,if safe to do so have a feel of the drum just after an event. Do this with the handbrake off [ chock vehicle or have someone on the foot brake while you do this.] Carefull drum may well be hot, if so then this is the problem.
