Question 4x4 question

i am going to start off stating the i don't know very much about the mechanics of t-cases. but when i have it in 4 wheel or have the hubs locked in and i hit the breaks i hear somehtin shift under the truck and when i go to take off again it feels like i am climbing over a hill or somethin. then i hear a popping sound and the rear end dropps down and it is fine until i hit the breaks again. i would appreciate any suggestions

4x4 question

I hope you're not doing this on pavement... It sounds like your rear U-bolts that hold the axle to the springs are loose. I'm having to replace my axle right now because of that.

4x4 question

if that is the case then why does it only do it when i have the hubs locked in. after further review, it seems like somethin is binding and then giving way to the pressure but the only thing i can think about is maybe the u joints but i still am not sure

4x4 question

How is your rear suspension? Could you have a broken spring or ubolt? Check your ujoints front and rear. Can you tell im stabbing in the dark?
