My 2004 Ram 1500 4X4 was lifted at the dealership and it seems like the lift keeps such an accute angle on my front driceshaft that it keeps messing up that gear (hypoid gear?) that allows the driveshaft to angle down to the diff. Can I put locking hubs on (it's independant front susp. if that matters) to eliminate the front driveshaft from turning all the time, therefore eliminating any undue wear on the shaft? Or it it possible to install a solid front driveshaft? Any help would be AWESOME. This is gettin expensive!!
