Yay finally !!!!
After all the nonsense with my lift... found multiple issues with the install of the lift and glad that I took it off since I plan to tow a lot.
Here's a picture of my truck leveled. Stock shocks, new stock front + rear leafs and leveling kit. Truck drives like a cadillac now less the front hubs that I need to change.
Thanks everyone for all your help and listening to me complain. I'm happy now and can't wait to start pulling the trailer!

Thanks! The issue is that one of the hubs is locked (guessing it's locked?) and regardless if I unlock both hubs the front driveshaft turns. I'm guessing one of them is stuck in the locked position? I realize it's not a huge issue but there's no need to turn that ds unless I'm in 4wd, right? LOL.

It has a switch on a panel for 2wd / 4wd hi / low. Also the hubs have a "Free" and "Locked" on them and believe they are "Warn" model. Is there a way that I can override the hubs to stop them from turning that front ds? Perhaps trying to engage 2wd / 4wd hi/low and see if that helps? I've ensured both hubs are in the "FREE" area but on one side when I turn the wheel (passenger side) it turns the ds regardless..... Errr! LOL... always something, isn't it?

Perhaps I can just try to engage 4wd for 10-20 feet then disengage it? LOL.

I'm going to replace both hubs ASAP -- the part is on order. I'm trying to get it so the front driveshaft isn't spinning 70mph down the road with me LOL. I'll try to play around with engaging 4wd and disengaging to see if that makes any difference.

More info since I was out there just messing around with it some more.
On the backside, there's a black ring (dust ring?) that's just hanging there. I tried to use a wedge to move the axle around and it really isn't budging much.
Is all this because of the hub being locked?
Charlie, I sent you a PM please call me on the cell # provided. thanks.
