Dorman makes a helluva lug nut though.
I agree with all the peeps here. Your level isn't causing any issues

There is no need to stop your truck to shift into 4H.. it's a shift on the fly (SOTF) system. you can select 4H at speeds up to 55 MPH. Remember ... vacuum holds the IWE's in the dis-engaged position .. when in 4WD the vacuum is vented allowing the wheel ends to engage.. check the vent lines .. the can get clogged

Hey guys,
So I had both actuators and half axles replaced with OEM ones. Wouldn't you believe it, there's no grinding noise now in 4wd! Maybe just bad aftermarket parts?
I am, however, now hearing a ratcheting sound coming from the right front hub. It sounds just like spinning a ratchet and I only hear this sound when accelerating. If I let off the gas, there's no sound. Any thoughts?

If you don't have 4A, pull the electrical connector on the solenoid. What I'm saying here, get the IWEs to lock in to prevent grinding brand new ones up. As long as you don't engage 4H/4L on high traction surfaces, you won't hurt anything.
I'd do one or other before you drive it again.
You're losing vacuum as you accelerate, let off, and vacuum returns pulling the IWE out.
