I took the driveshaft to a driveline shop and had all the u-joints changed as well as the carrier bearing, then had it balanced. The transmission has been rebuilt and so has the rear end. I know to always go back to the last thing worked on before the problem started to troubleshoot which would be the rear end. I found some slop in the pinion bearing that my mechanic is going to fix next week but I'm still wondering about pinion angle.
Also - I assume your truck has the control arm suspension (not leaf springs) -

Which trans? Auto or manual?

I assume it didn't do this before lowering?
