Yes, in CT.

 

Made a folding tire carrier. Couldn't find exactly what I was after but was able to make it.

 

that thing is sweet

 

I’m having like the worst of time.

I can’t think the drive angle would be this bad of an effect. I’ve driven like 100 miles on it though tbh.

but yesterday i was in the driveway and I wasn’t sure if I was going crazy but it like wouldn’t go forward when I pushed on the pedal. I put it in gear a third time and off I went.

Today I go to chic Fil a after having my gf verify I’m not crazy about the bit of vibration: it happens again but I was in drive the whole time. I felt like once I stopped the truck started to feel heavy until it just wouldn’t go. Tried to go in reverse, park, 4Hi, turn the truck off. Wouldn’t go.

now I’m at chic fil a questioning why I ever even bothered to have something nice

edit: I know I’m bitching but it’s a hard swallow after a 12h day

 

Woah, that's not normal. Does it feel like binding? I can't think your pinion angle would be THAT off

 

like I was able to force it forward twice for about five feet then it got caught in something. I assume the u joint is getting caught on itself. The pics from yesterday show the angles of the shaft, doesn’t look severe at all to me

 

I feel like I have been seeing a few of these threads lately

 

The rear u joint locking up?

 

No, trucks that are binding or won't go

 

How did you lift the rear, blocks or AAL?

 

2” block

 

I believe there's a taper to them for your driveline angle, im wondering if they were installed facing the wrong way...

 

That's a damn good idea... hadn't even thought about it and would explain everything

 

I can’t tell but maybe you guys can

 

Sorry here’s a second pic

 

Hard to tell from these pics, can you see a taper to the block? The thinner part should be facing the front of the truck if you can

 

i only have my phones measure app so I’m only seeing 2” per side, my girlfriends bringing a tape measure

here’s a pic from the front is it supposed to read upside down?

 

Probably not...I'd call whoever installed it and ask them to take a look

 

Well I got home, measured and it’s 1/8” longer in the front. So good catch @Brownmatthall I hope that’s it

 

It would definitely account for everything you're describing
