The bucking stops when I give it enough throttle to downshift.

The vehicle currently has copper Champion plugs and basic Duralast wires from Autozone. They have 10,000 miles on them. Would it be worth it to change them out?
I would change them and the wires if they're not
Super new sounds like the exact problem I had

Which is not necessarily the way I would describe it, but seems to fit a clogged cat issue.
the reason i said this is because i have a similar problem as the op... and my cats gutted... truck runs fine but once it shifts to over drive and the rpms drop down between 1400 and 2000 i have to make it down shift to speed up or climb a slope. just giving it a little more gas the engine seems like it has a miss.... but dose it...? so its ether that or the trany just sucks. or its because i have 265 tires with 3.55s but idk
