Are the wheels on the ground, or is the truck sitting on jack stands?

I believe most are 2 piece drive shafts on 2WD trucks, my reg cab short box 5 speed is a 2 piece. I think its just the Auto tranny trucks that are 1 piece, and even then I think its just reg cab short box.

If you tightened up all the hardware while the truck was up in the air, you've preloaded the bushings and put them in a bind when you put the truck back on the ground.
Best bet is to loosen all the bolts at the bushings, then put the weight of the truck on them before you re-tighten.

Yes the wheels are on the ground. And when you say bushings areyou talking about the u bolts?

This makes no sense to me, 3" blocks and monoleaf'd and its the same ride height?!? In for updates and PICS!

sounds like his axle is below the leafs to me. if he added blocks 3" then mono leaf about 3inches drop he defeated purpose adding blocks.

if thats the case axle flip time. just a thought since no pictures.

go look at my truck tho. i have 1inch Block on mono setup because i had to remove the 3 because my frame was on ground.

Bushings on the leaf springs themselves, at the front and rear.
