Default Grinding hub

Today i put in a 2in level on my 2010 f150 4x4 to fit 33s. Shortly after in 2wd the hub on the driver side started to just grind. It stopped after i put it in 4x4 locking the hub. I also noticed when turning the wheel it seems to lock the driver side wheel almost. I removed the tie rod, lower+upper arms, stabilizer and the center hub bolt at the bearing to do the lift today. I torqued everything to specs and have no idea what i screwed up. First time with a 4x4 so im asking for opinions here before i dance away thinking its a bearing. Any suggestions or help? Thanks

You probably tore the vacuum hose to the IWE when you had the lower arm swung down.

Would that also cause the wheel to lock up when turning?
