Message:
i recently put in two inch lift blocks and cranked the bars in my 02 QC the other day i noticed a squeeking noise that sounded pretty consistant with the driveshaft, it goes away when im not applying power and comes back when i apply power, can really hear it when you creep up a hill and something is along side the truck (like a parked car) to reflect the sound back and i think im getting a vibration at like 60 mph, would the 2 inch block change the angle of the driveshaft to blow a u joint?? or might it be coincidence, my 02 has about 33k on it.

Sounds like a u-joint to me. Have you:
1. Tried greasing them?
2. Spraying the cup areas with something like WD-40, 5/56, or any other spray lubricant?
3. Taken each driveshaft out and manually inspected the joints?
Try those.

If the blocks you put in aren't tapered they can throw off the drive angle of the joint. 2 inches shouldn't have hurt it either way. Sounds like a fluke to me. If they aren't tapered you can buy a tapered shim to use that will correct the drive angle.
