In my instructions, I recommend not letting the spindle lean out too far or the axle will slip out of the differential. This happened to me when I was installing the lift using the crappy instructions that came with the lift. Once it was out, it took an hour to get back in. And when it was done, there was a problem with the front left drive shaft. It apparently didn't go in right. Felt like it might have grinded before it went back in. I can't tell if there is an axle problem or if the CV boot was making the noise I was hearing with the lift on. So I went back to stock and an having the alignment redone to stock.

The truck goes into the shop tomorrow to get a new CV boot clamp that was removed by us while trying to correct the slipped axle problem. Maybe next week if there is still a problem, I'll take it back to the dealer for a fix. If there was a lift on the truck, they could say that the problem was caused by the lift I put on which means no warranty repair. If it's back to stock, then hopefully they won't say anything and will fix it under warranty and no money out of my pocket other than paying for a few alignments.
