you don't have to be lifted at all to be out of phase. and being out of phase can damge anything in the drive line. Any car, truck or suv that has a two piece drive shaft can be easily out off phase if someone has ever change U joints or anything.

When you set up a driveline, your u-joint angles have to be equal and opposite in order for them to properly compliment each other. You don't have a joint at 3* drop coming out of the T-Case, and 0* going into the pinion... It has to match that 3*. When you lift a vehicle, you throw those angles off. In a jeep you can change them 10*-15* pretty quickly, but with these trucks it would take a much taller lift to duplicate that. Is what I'm saying making sense? It is in my head, but I've been doing this a while and I just have a bit different lingo.

Well, unless you have a double cardan joint on the T-Case end (a lot of guys call it a CV, even though its not), you don't want the pinion pointed at the T-Case. That's the problem with Jeeps, the driveshaft is so short that to keep angles equal and opposite, the U-Joints would bind. The easiest solution is a Double Cardan driveshaft... The only other real option is to stretch the wheelbase, or tilt the engine down.

If this truck has a lift on it and no pinion angle shims in the rear axles I can guess what the problem is.
