Dang that thing is clean underneath, looks like new
Off hand i dont see anything, did the springs separate from the axle all while doing the swap, Id wonder if your pins didnt get lined up ad your dog tracking a little bit, but by the pictures i dont see any indications of that being the issue
Thanks iv rebuilt the whole truck pretty much except transmission, driveshaft, power steering pump, and rear differential do you think maybe the axle shifted i did do the u bolts on a hill but i made sure every tire was was blocked off gonna lift it up and take wheels off matbe brake is seized but i think i would know that im missing something small cause she drives terrible right now
Looking at the tire wear, I would think the axle was cocked a bit.... If all you had loose was the u-bolts, I might be tempted to crack 'em loose, and make sure the axle is properly on the locating pins.

Disconnect the lower shock mounts, see what happens.....
