I can't help but think none of that would have broke with a body lift

When you lift a vehicle the drive shaft comes out of the transfer case a little bit in my case it broke the seal.

You could go to my albums by clicking on my username and see some pictures of my old white truck. I went through a couple different suspension setups on it. I specifically made the album with full descriptions at the bottom of each picture for guys wanting to see different suspension setups on 2wds. Truck is 97 2wd.
