    Put a 2 inch lift block on rear suspension truck facing down hill, everything was going right until I started it and put it in drive and it would not move same thing with reverse. I moved the shifter in and out a couple of times the wheels got freed up, 5 feet of driving and wheels lock up again. The driveshaft looks at a steep angle pointing down. The parking break is harder to pull than before I did the rear lifting. What should I do?

    Most likely you stressed/pinched/stretched, parking/emergency brake cable.

    Yeah, your parking brake cable is the problem.

    Usually stretched brake cables. I've seen other posts about this as well.
