thanks for replying. I checked it out, I got a passenger side axle at NAPA tomorrow. I'm 99% sure it wasn't my transfer case and yes I meant to say my CV joint, not the boot. Mine must be stripped because you can see it slipping and occasionally grabbing. I will install that this week and go from there. Still waiting on my OME suspension kit to arrive. I still yet don't understand my shocks looking fine but making nasty noises and hitting hard. So I can't wait to lift and have new shocks/springs this weekend.
