    If I take off at a stop light quickly, sometimes I feel two or three clunks under the cab. It only happens for the first second or so. I have been under the truck to check the U-joints and they seem tight. Is there any thing else to look at prior to suspecting the transfer case?
    I have recently lifted the truck and put bigger wheels and tires that are heavier than stock. Kind of wondering if that has put more stress on the drive line.

    Because of the heavier wheels? How can I check that theory out and prevent it from happening if that is the case?

    All I really saw/heard was the chirping of the wheels. Maybe inside the cab you can hear the clunking better? Thanks for the video by the way.
    So what did you do to fix this problem besides not taking off quickly? :burnrubber:;)

    I think it's related to the driveshaft shaking. I can also hit my driveshaft and get a similar clunk. I haven't found anything yet, it just clunks lol. I need to throw the GoPro down there and get some better video.
