Roaring at 70 mph

I did the v-code swap and installed the Hellwig sway bar...all was good. I installed the f-350 blocks, new tires, and alignment, now at 70 mph it sounds like the rear end is roaring, until I accelerate. Oh, and the sway bar broke my anti-loc brake connector going to the rear brakes. Any suggestions?

So...you kept the stock rear "G" code springs and installed the 3.5" tapered block? If correct, my guess is that the pinion angles are not good and you have u-joint whirr. You may want to go ahead and install "B" code springs OR put RAS on stock springs with 2" block.
