You need to be more descriptive than that..... Rough how? rough when? Engine rough? clutch rough?

It almost feels like something is rubbing feels rite under my ass and its not the engine for sure it's more like clutch or drive shaft feeling if that helps

Running rough and then rubbing are quite different??

Could be brakes are not releasing all the way.

So problem with master cylinder or proportioning valve.
Jack up one front wheel and spin it, make sure it is free to spin.
Start engine, apply brakes and release, then spin wheel again, make sure it is releasing right away.

This is the best way I can describe it it feels like when you drive over the little bumps on the side of the highway

You lost a balance weight on one of your wheels/tires, now that tire is bouncing when in motion.

 

[Shredneck]

And how do I fix this problem ? Can that part be bought independently ?

just take it to a tire place and they will balance your tires and maybe for free

Also check your U-joints and carrier bearing if it has one. If a U-joint lets go on the highway it isn't much fun.
