Curious as to what caused you to check the yoke.

You think this is bad ill show you mine when I learn how to post pics...I had my lift blocks crack in half and my u bolts break it sent my right tire into my rear quarter panel. ...new blocks u bolts and shocks and a new drive line fixed it. ...word to this wise if You are having axle wrap fix it ASAP or you'll be like me doing a lift on the side of the road on a hot Saturday afternoon that's no fun. ..next is traction bars

Wheelhop that bad isnt something to joke about. You risk blowing the carrier up, shearing the pinion, or breaking the Ujoint/driveshaft in half.
Get those bars installed.

See Steve, even Tom is starting to give you shit for not putting your bars on. :roflmao:

 

[TheBac]

Brian, I sheared the pinion in my old Mustang when it wheelhopped. "Zing --- SNAP" and I wasnt moving again. It was embarrassing, but it forced me to find an 8.8.

 

[hondarider552]

What rear end was in it before? The 7.5"? I snapped the Ujoint off on that rear end in my 86 ranger so I kinda know how you feel :rofl:

 

[TheBac]

Yep, that weak-kneed POS 7.5

 

[blk smoke lb7]

I dont understand why this is doing what its doing, that rearend must be moving forward pretty far for the yoke to rub the side of the drive shaft.Does this truck have a lift? Didnt look like it if anything looks like its lowered

4-6 non torsion bar drop.
