    Drive axle shouldn’t be touching the cross member even with the suspension dumped. Maybe you’re missing some bump stops?

    Edit: never mind you found the issue.

    Too bad you can’t find out Who did that work. So You never take Truck there.Past Owner would have some recourse, sounds like he never figured it out. You got a deal, all worked out, go make some money now for the next repair, Lol

    I agree, I've been a member of car forums for a long time and it seems like once the person gets a general idea they never reply or post again.

    I'll post more pics tomorrow.
