What mods did you make?

Everything tightened down?

Did your driveline angle change?  Any yoke/driveshaft interference issues?

I just went to talk to my buddy and he told me that because i did the spring over, the u joint is clanking on the driveline, he said I need to put a traction bar on the rear axle to the frame to stop the pinion from rising up when I accelerate..
