differential help
I have a 1988 ford truck f150 2wd with a 8.8 diff. my problem is when I turn it sound like the tires are rubbing on something but I checked and I dont see anything rubbing anywhere it kind of sound like its coming from the center of my rim. When I go uphill it also makes that sound and you can fell it in the cab not alot of vibration but you can fell something does anyone know what the problem can be. The truck is lifted with 3'' blocks and a shackle flip

Sounds like an axel bearing.
Drive the truck in a clear area and swerve from left to right. If the noise goes away in one direction only, it's the unweighted side bearing. If it doesn't change, it's in the differential.
