transfer case deal

ok i am first glad to say that the truck has passed inspection. Thankyou to all of you guys who helped me. Now i finally got a front driveshaft that fits. We got it out of an old Wrangler. the old driveshaft was okay but it had to much vibration to it. We locked the hubs then put it in 4 wheel drive and we started to go. i went a few inches then it felt like i was fighting the car. i gave it more gas and my back wheel went in one direction and the front wheels went in the opposite direction. some how one of the driveshafts is spinning in the wrong direction. did i maybe put the driveshaft on the wrong way or something. when we got out of the car the rear axle was at a pretty high angle and the rear driveshaft was bent at an angle at the yoke on the axle instead of perfectly straight. the axle was already at and angle but this angle was wrong. We put it in 2wheel drive and it corrected itself. My friend thought he saw the rear wheels go in reverse while the front wheels went forward. We never had this problem with the old driveshaft i dont believe. if anyone nows what it is id like to know how to fix it. thanks

something is fishy here!! did you change front drive axle completely or just the driveshaft?
jack the truck up on stands, rotate everything by hand and see what wants to go where. get back to the forum with results and we'll try to give more answers.
