Exclamation wierd vibration need help

I have a 2004 ram 1500. I just had a 3 inch rough country suspension lift installed and i have a wierd noise sounds like something rubbing or vibrating. I can hear it only when cruising if you give or let off the throttle it stops or sometimes just doesnt sound as bad but i also hear it when im stopped while in gear both foward and reverse while holding the break but if i shift into neutral it immediatly stops. anybody got any ideas??? the sound appears to be coming from underneath the floorboard and seems to be more on the drivers side but could just be that thats where im sitting. I thought it may could be u-joints but not sure need help!!

2WD or 4WD?

Have you checked your wheel bearings and front/rear differential?

It is 4wd and what would be wrong with the diff. That would cause this noise, i checked the fluid and its full.

It does it while driving and while its at a complete stop, if it was the front/rear diff it wouldn't make noise while stopped right?

I would assume this to be true (but we all know what we say about those who assume lol). Is there any way you can get a video or a sound recording of this noise?

I have found the problem my front diff is in at an angle this happened when the guy installed my lift the passenger side is angled to the rear of the truck and has the axle in a bind. Anyone else had this problem with rough country lift
