Also jacked it up and spun it by hand no noises or anything also jacked it up and ran truck slow in first gear everything seems fine but I'm not sure I may very well pull the cover tomorrow and double check

Well I jacked it up and put it in gear drive shaft has very minimal runout I'm seriously doubtful on it being bent now I found my center ujoint to be starting to fail I'm thinking I'm gonna go ahead and replace all rear ujoints with spicer and my carrier and see if I can get my pinion angle set correct hopefully I've been watching videos on it here lately so I'm thinking I'm gonna need shims to fix it but if it continues after u joint replacement I'm gonna re pull cover and check rearend I just hope it's not the problem it's not really in the budget right now

I know it's had a wheel hop issue but since the axle swap it's become much worse I try to watch getting on it so I don't ruin it till I get traction bars built which it very much needs
