Just did maxtrac 7" with 4.5 in back last weekend . Hearing some rubbing towards the back. I don't see rubbing anywhere so I'm wondering if it's the drive shaft because it has a pretty good angle on it. Was wondering if I can put some washers in between the bracket to change the angle of the drive shaft in the first picture. Only does it during acceleration every now and then not every time . Could it just be the spaces in the tread of the tires

I have the same lift and same truck and they sell a carrier bearing spacer to get the drive shaft back to the correct angle.

That's it. I'm not really sure if it's a good idea driving it around with that pinion angle or not. I bought mine with my lift. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in.

You definitely want to get the carrier bearing drop kit on there. That pinion angle is ridiculously steep for sure.
