I have an ole beater '91 that I was going to use as a trail rig. I installed a 3" lift and immediatelly afterwards, I hear a droaning / whining noise coming from behind me. Hard to pinpoint the sound. Kinda pass floorboard area, but could be further back - low resonence sounds are difficult to tell where it's coming from. I only notice it while accelerating, so I think that eliminates wheel bearings. I'm sure the noise is a result of the lift anyway, so bearings would be purely coincedental. My next guess is U-joint, but I've never had one go bad, have no idea what it sounds like, etc. Are they hard to replace? Any other ideas? It is a steady sound - no metallic banging, clicking, etc. Kind of a growl - haven't gone faster than 30 yet, so don't know if it gets any louder w/ speed, but it's noticeable from 10mph up.
